My face is about 24 cm long and about 12 cm wide, my premolar bite size is about 3.4-3.6 cm somewhere around there and I've done invisalign already due to my bimaxillary protrusion and I've gotten my face like almost 0.5 to 0.7 cm more narrower (just an estimate) due to the IPR I did and the retraction of the teeth. I'm on the 8th of my 20 set aligners, each about like 28 days or so. The problem is I guess I kinda have a narrow palate and a somewhat recessed maxilla. I want to do MSE to get my face wider, reverse pull headgear to bring the maxilla forward and SFOT for the mandible and once that is done, due to the ipr I should have some gaps in my teeth, if I have to ditch the retainer (I'll probably talk about that to my orthodontist) and I will probably have to do some filling or aligners or anything of that sort. Should I do this, would it work as a non-surgical alternative? I don't want to do Double Jaw Surgery, post-op time is too much and will hurt my wallet much more than this so...
