A marpe isnt going to fix your narrow jaw.

If anything marpe is arguably a looksmin, you should only be considering it for fixing breathing issues, not for improving your looks

MARPE is a upper jaw (maxillary) expander not a lower jaw, there is a misconception that maxillary expansion will cause mandibular expansion to meet occlusal needs, which is not the case and you will have a fucked up occlusion at the end if expansion is not needed. The only way is CCW of the maxilla, which would rotate the mandible anteriorly giving the illusion of a projected chin and a wider lower jaw in the frontal plane or you get a certain orthognathic surgery. Other methods are cope.

Your chin height looks to be pretty short, and its slightly recessed. Your ramus also looks short and slanted with inward gonions, giving you a high gonial angle

A sliding genioplasty would improvr the height of your lower third and jaw angle implants would improve the jaw width
