According to expert airway ortho Dr. Kimberly Santiago, Marpe gives us Lefort 1 changes in terms of skeletal effect. With MARPE every suture in the mid face will loosen and be pliable including the targo maxillary which is located at the end of ur maxilla before the sphenoid and no other type if expander or sarpe does that. Meaning that not only can we get better dimensions transversally (width) we can drag the maxilla forward with devices like the face mask (proven to work in adults after puberty).
Here comes my theory. As we all know during puberty our maxilla is still pliable and prone to growth with or without exogenous hormones like HGH. So I wonder if after the marpe gets installed and after the loosening occurs (probably when the sutures split) and we introduce exogenous hormones like HGH or test with correct head and tongue posture would we see forward maxillary growth? Or would the HGH interfere with the loose sutures and close / make them more dense?
I am getting Marpe installed this week or the next. I am 19 years old and i am willing to test this theory out myself with scans and everything but I need to know if the HGH would interfere with the marpe. My protocol would be the following,6-8IU daily hgh with calcium, k2,d3 and other regular supplements.
I would like to hear your inputs!!!!!
