Hard mew or get a palate expander. There are two types of palate expander. One is fixed and connected with teeth whereas the other ones (MSE/MARPE/FME) are fixed to the bone directly(using screws ig). Consult with an orthodontist or Oral & maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS) & get CBCT scans of your skull. They will tell you about this. I'm also thinking to get it though (turned 16 this year).

if u dont mind me asking what region ur from cus where im from getting a palate expander is very hard here in asia. ive also thought about marpe multiple times and have told my parents about it too. but its very pricey (which i guess wont be that much of a problem given ive bugged them to get it for so long and my birthdays coming up) plus the amount of orthodontists/dental clinics i have to go to that might install marpe are maybe far and takes alot of effort, any advice? (also not worried about the pain ive had braces for about almost a year now)

I'm also from Asia. And yea, i understand how marpe and all that shi are so costly. I have saved up some money tho, i have my appointment with an orthodontist 2 weeks later ig. Mhmm, here, where i live, has enough clinics that it doesn't take allat time. I hope you ascend broski.

thats very fortunate for you.

if you also dont mind me asking will you also be getting a face mask (reverse pull headgear) along that marpe you'll be getting? i heard it gives forward growth to the maxilla, and also makes the zygos and chin more pronounced.

likewise, hope you ascend soon too.

Get a palate expander, you can easily convince parents/orthodontist to give you one by faking a crossbite

funny thing is i actually do have a mild crossbite, not noticeable but its there.

i also do have a mildly narrow palate, one thing i know for sure is i have tongue scallopping or tongue waves on the side of my tongue which means i dont have sufficient room for my tongue at my palate.

i also do have breathing problems too such as not being able to breathe through my nose at all at colder environments.

i think getting a marpe would just improve my quality of life, the maxilla part is just one of the few upgrades.

do you have a marpe/palate expander?

I had a palate expander when I was a little kid, and I'm so thankful to my parents for doing that it did so much for my looks and especially facial harmony. If you're getting tongue waves and you have a crossbite just bring it up with parents to take you to an orthodontist and get a palate expander. also its $0 out of your pocket.

how long did you have it for and how much did it improve your quality of life, (breathing, sleep, etc) and aesthetics as u grew older?

IGF-1 is the primary driver for maxilla projection.

Best chance is HGH.

Hard mew won't do shit. But expander is good

Nahh, i'mma just get a "Rapid palatal expander" or "Maxillary skeletal expander". It depends on the my sutures and doctor's recommendation. Tho, palate expander can work pretty well. I can't even mew , because my palate is too narrow for my tongue . And yes, it gives forward growth & your zygos will pop out more.

(Same man, i hope everyone here ascends & make their life better)
