Orthodontic problem

[Husssu]

Went to a orthodontist today for something and asked about my pallate he said compared to my lower it's fine but compared to average it's a bit narrow I asked if I need any devices since I'm 15 they would help alot he said he doesn't know?? And then nose breathing should fix it, I don't mouth breath. He said after that it's not too narrow so a device might overexpand I'm Guessing is there anything I can do to widen it naturally no bs like thumbpulling is there anything that can be done

If he says it's normal compared to you lower jas then it's bescue you have narrow jaw also, but that's a bad thing, ask for a MARPE, and just tell him to not keep it on for too long.

My face is narrower than average so yea does that mean I need to expand both pallates or get a surgery when I'm older

RPE is if your maxilla isn't fused yet, if it is fused (Wich it probably is), you need a bone-born instrument (like a MARPE)

You can't expand lower pallate.


I mean of course surgery but for your case I don't think it is bad enough to get insurance (hence very expensive) . I too have both palettes on the narrow side, I'm getting an RPE soon. When you expand the top, it can also give the illusion of a wider lower pallate. (Don't expect a massave change)
