Throughout the past few months, I and many others have noticed the rapid popularization of a MARPE (Mini-Screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) Device. The MARPE device works by using mini-screws to directly brute force the mid-palatal suture open, common in late teens to young adults and to achieve palatal expansion.
Recently, I went in to the orthodontist for a consultation regarding braces and a MARPE, and he proposed Damon braces but stated he thought a MARPE was unnecessary. However, since then, I looked up the symptoms one must typically experience for a recommendation to get a MARPE. Typically, one would only be installed for a narrow palate (obviously). Since then, I've noticed my tongue having bite marks from inability to fit within my palate, I've observed myself mouth breathing in my sleep (fml), I feel restless regardless of how many hours I get of sleep, I have stubborn dark circles, and my maxilla is recessed (ggs).
My questions are as follows:
1. Can MARPE drive CCW rotation and/or forward growth?
2. Will a MARPE be extremely effective at 17?
3. What complimenting treatments would be effective to take advantage of before the inevitable agepill rapes me?
Note: I'd love some input from those with experience and who've had a MARPE or a similar device installed.
