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
 
Why not look into MARPE or SARPE?

I don’t really know what I’ll get yet but once I do i’ll make a thread about it
(MSE is just a guess)

MSE creates a more parallel split whereas MARPE usually makes a split more open in the front and not much in the back. MSE is a far better option

Just ask what your orthodontist recommends but make it clear what your goal is. If your main concern is looks, let him/her know. Obviously don’t say that’s your only concern but let him/her know you are concerned with the treatment affecting your looks and see what he/she says.

Best option is mma double jaw surgery
 
Did you get MARPE/MSE? I did. It wasn’t that amazing.
I haven’t yet obviously, however it would benefit me a lot (with better sleep, better tongue positioning, a wider maxilla, my cheekbones and zygos being more visible [they’re already visible rn at a high bodyfat while having a narrow palate], etc)

It won’t lol. You will see, it won’t. The only benefits I could come up with it slightly increases volume of cheeks, and it may have helped me avoid a three piece segmental lefort. My theory is because I did MARPE, I didn’t need to do a three piece segmental when I did my lefort 1.

0 knowledge about my case nor about what palate expansion can do :feelspepo:
 
your palate doesnt look too narrow i doubt youll qualify for mse
I have a ton of reasons to get it, also my ortho already said theres a high chance i’ll get some sort of expansion

hey bro, i just got SARPE. whats your IM width? wont help with deep bite.

you have to do bimax sadly to fix that. i will do bimax in 1 year after the expansion is stable

Deep bite gets fixed by a bite plate which i’m also getting soon, lol. bimax is unnecessary for deep bite fixes
