I had a consultation last month regarding MSE. Medically it would make sense as my intermolar width is only like 37mm and I can’t fit my tongue on the roof of my mouth. Aesthetically it would expand cheekbones which seems great, however, my bizygomatic width is 137mm, and IPD is 63mm. I’m concerned if my bizygomatic width increased too much from MSE, it would throw off my harmony and the ratio between my Bizygo width and IPD.
Also, my most important concern aesthetically is mandibular/chin recession. My submental distance is like 30mm and my chin projection is 10mm off from forming the optimal 175° convexity angle. Following MSE, I’d probably want to get MSDO as it’s safer than moving teeth around too much especially if I got a bimax after and needed more braces. My side profile is nearly subhuman level tbh but it doesn’t look as bad from the front, although I hyperfixate on it so it’s extremely clear to me.
17, going to college in just under 2 years, I could likely complete MSE + MSDO and then bimax before heading to college, but I’m not sure if I should just go for bimax ASAP or even look into IMDO. My midface is at least a little bit too long though so I’d need a lefort in conjunction with IMDO. My eye area is probably average already, although I lack lower eyelid support, another thing which has MSE has anecdotally been claimed to help with, and my harmony seems to be decent. Not really sure exactly where I stand but with the clear recession it can’t be very high. I seem to have at least an alright base for improvement though. Let me know what you think, is the potential benefit of MSE worth it enough to keep having an incel level side profile for an extra year or should I skip it?
