Finally convinced my dentist after 6 months to give me expanders, probably because he messed up some stuff with my insurance so i got a little extra help.

Even so my advice and from what i did to convince him was every session i would tell him about how my tongue didn’t fit all the way in the roof of my mouth, complained i snored when i sleep, that my airway isn’t open enough, and that i had masseter tightness and pain (which can lead to TMJ if not fixed)


Im getting a NiTi Expander for my upper palate and a Schwartz appliance for the arch which aligns the bite during expansion

He said 3-4 mm of expansion over 3-4 months, ill update on how it goes when i get them installed near the end of may.

Ill send a pic of it in the morning, im also gonna call and try and get images/renders of my teeth
Bubba what changes are you even hoping for

those are just going to move teeth
 
omfg you retard its not going to make any skeletal changes those are literally made for correcting DENTAL arches

you need a MARPE or MSE not those $100 expanders you can buy online
 
You're spiking my cortisol mirin how you're being a giddy nigga for your little expanders

But none of those are anchored to bone at all and will only TIP your teeth

You won't see any facial changes, airway improvements

Genuinely nothing nigga stop trying to convince this retard dentist and go to an actual orthodontists

youre just a little ball of anger arent ya, my bones are soft, my orthodontist (Sorry i didnt clarify!! hes the tooth doctor, youre too specific) wouldnt allow tipping eiehter?? jfl and i hope none would. And saying youll notice NO facial changes is top 5 retarded things ive read on here and youre too low iq to understand anything about medical appliances.

How am I angry? Dude I'm genuinely just concerned for your retarded ass. I'm literally the nigga inside a MARPE RIGHT NOW, BOTH of my cousins are Orthodontists too.

You're not going to get any maxillary or MANDIBULAR SKELETAL expansion, through your fucking removable devices nigga. It's not HIS choice to allow tipping or not, THE DEVICES make your DENTAL ARCH "WIDER" by tipping the TEETH outward.

YOU need a MARPE or MSE if you are above the age of 14 for facial changes.

A WIDER dental arch will give you a wider smile, that's IT. NOT wider lips, not more protruded cheekbones, NOTHING bro. Stop wasting your time on this bullshit.

What's the latest age you can get Marpe or mse

there's no latest age, you can get it whenever but as you age your bones get denser, so you'd need a piezo cut eventually

i dont need a MSE or MARPE it would be too much for MY teeth fucking them in the process. Most results with a NiTi expander dont result in tipping so idk where youre getting that from. obviously in some cases it can happen but thats everything. the Niti still expands the maxilla either way no?

Dude I mean this in the nicest way possible. I've been researching this for a WHILE because I got fucked over by MULITPLE orthodontists. I'm trying to help you, because I went down this exact route with a jewish orthodontists

If you want any facial changes through an expansion device, you need your midpalate suture to be split open. MSE and MARPE are anchored to your maxilla, and it's going to split your suture open, and give you facial changes/skeletal expansion as you keep turning the device. It's not going to affect your teeth in the slightest.

dental tipping is when your teeth go from its current position, to slightly more flared out. This is how orthodontists will "camouflage" your skeletal issues, artificially creating a wider dental arch.

NiTi expander isn't anchored to your maxilla at all, it's anchored to your teeth, and it's going to create said dental tipping. It physically cannot expand your maxilla, because it's NOT anchored to it, and your suture is currently fused. Your bones being SOFT, LIKE MINE, only means a MARPE/MSE will give you a palate split earlier than others with denser bones, that's it.

TLDR: NiTi Expander is not going to give any maxilla expansion, it's only going to expand your arch through dental tipping. MARPE/MSE is pushing your bones apart, not your teeth.

oh i lowkey misinterpreted tipping as the tooths angle not the entire arch, but yea i understand it now. it will still help facially either way i dont think i could get him onto a marpe or mse and other places arent an option ill call and ask why i cant. pretty sure its cause i got oligidoncha --> it would mess my teeth up more, i wouldnt really care tho i have to get 8 fake ones in the future atleast might aswell try with the bad ones. Even all that wont it still make it appear wider? yea the bone isnt pushing outwards it would still act like that no? and or give atleast a little.

no for sure but since ur missing permanent teeth niti/schawrtz would arguably be worse than a marpe. cuz its going to cause a lot of stress on ur teeth. meanwhile marpe is more skeletal expansion, and there isn't any load on ur teeth bro so its literally perfect.

facially it can help you get a wider smile though ig? but i think you want a wider midface and shit no?

i dont think he offers the device, most orthos near me dont offer MSE/MARPE and offer nitis though cuz its meant for kids.

i can help you find a provider, also use this website and see if theres any near you: https://www.getexpanded.org/

okay ill look around when im home. im gonna call and argue that aswell since thats a great point that skeletal expansion would be better and i didnt connect the dots. the only reason other places arent options is my insurance is ahh and nobody takes it besides them, did pay in full for my braces tho but i figure that a expander of any kind would just be out of my price range.
