Make sure he actually offers it. If he does, he'll probably agree to do it since he makes money off it anyway. If he says no but you still want it, just find a different ortho

maspe is better + no saying dentist is gonna give you a marpe if you aren’t having breathing issues jfl

MARPE and MASPE are the same, just with a different turning speed. And there are a lot more indications than just breathing issues—for example, a crossbite, bad skeletal relationships, poor angulation of the teeth, etc

MASPE+ and FME are better than MARPE. Just tell him that your tounge doesn't sit well in your palate and you have trouble biting and chewing and such. Tell him to mesaure your intramolar with, take an X-Ray as well as a CBCT scan to make sure that you get the proper treatment for your case.

That’s true, but the op just said he had a narrow palette and no breathing issues, going off of those facts and no other information; I’d say that a dentist probably wouldn’t give him a MARPE. Also, well MARPE and MASPE are technically the same thing, MASPE is better for reducing a tooth gap.

Intramolar width is the distance between your left and right molar on your upper jaw. A CBCT scan is a full 3D scan of your entire skull. And there is no site which you can just buy orthodonic appliances from. You need to have an othro approve ad give it to you. The best bet is to just voice your concerns sbout how a narrow palate can harm you in the future, how your tounge doesn't rest properly in your mouth, and just general things like that and he will talk to you about the options.
