I may sound retarded asking this, but why isn't there a palate expander that pushes the palate forward? Since there's a ridge between the soft and the hard palate, shouldn't it be possible to make some sort of contraption that pushes against that ridge to push the maxilla forward, to promote forward growth? I'm such a genius jfl :feelshah:

Yeah I know about that but you look like a fucking alien doing it. Something as compact as a palate expander would be way more convenient

it only expands laterally, you have to wear facemask or something to get it to move forward

Palatal expander 02

Something like this, just separated from the front too like with the sides so that it pushes forward, while the sides expand the palate

yeah i dont think its possible to have it fully concealed inside the mouth
 
I'm gonna be a black pilled orthodontist when I'm older:feelsgood:

It should hook onto your teeth, but that'll fuck em up, so get braces :feelshah:
using the teeth like that is risky in general and just not enough force for effective bone movement it will only cause gum erosion and other issues
 
that isnt good expansion bro :lul: for adults the only viable options are marpe / mse
i didnt say it was good for cosmetics its just a orthodontic device used for forward growth which op asked for.
 
Pallete expander only works horizontally bro

You need to wear a special forces mask all the time if you want forward growth :lul:

Because the maxillas almost never deficit in growth, its just downgrown and turned backeards

There's one called the DNA appliance. Serene Orthodontics has videos that detail it on youtube. Not sure how effective is since they never show before and after results with patients. They claim that because there's legal things they have not done yet to get patients permission
