Current Situation:

I’m currently undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces. I have several structural issues with my jaw and palate, including:
  • Deep bite
  • Narrow palate – when I try to maintain proper tongue posture, the sides of my tongue start to hurt due to pressure against my teeth
  • Unilateral condyle deficiency
  • Mandibular asymmetry
Additionally, I’ve been experiencing a few functional problems:

  • I often wake up with my mouth open
  • I sometimes have mild breathing difficulties
  • I occasionally wake up during the night, likely due to these issues
I spoke with my orthodontist about these concerns. As a result:
  • I’ve been referred to speech therapy (1 session/week for 6 weeks, 30 minutes each), although the first appointment is in about two months
  • I’ll be asking for a bite plate to help correct my deep bite
  • There’s also a possibility of getting MSE (Maxillary Skeletal Expansion), which might help counter the vertical (downward) facial growth caused by years of poor posture (I used to slouch constantly)
My Question:

Given all of the above, especially the narrow palate and my breathing/tongue posture issues, do you think my case would qualify for MSE or another form of palatal expansion?

I would advice you to get a sleep test. You might have sleep apnea👍 And you could potentially be a bimax candidate but I wouldnt hope for that. Regardless, you should get a sleeptest.

It does actually sound to me that jaw surgery is something you could get

don’t rlly want surgery i’d be fine with MSE and sum like a bite plate to fix my deep bite for now

don’t think it looks too narrow but my tongue won’t fit in there without having my teeth poke the sides
