Apparently my lower jaw cant be expanded and the teeth can only be slightly rotated out. Both palates are around 28mm which is narrow for a male. The ortho didnt even say how much more width they could create by rotating inwards teeth back outwards on the bottom, but they said cant expand. Id want to get my palate to at least 36mm. I am going to email ortho and find out if they can get lower palate to at least 34 mm and then upper to 36 as that should be fine but idk. Should i find a better ortho and surgeon. This ortho has chatted to a potential jaw surgeon about this so idk if that means i should avoid both.
 
always expand your palate/arches before messing around with bimax, saves a lot of trouble
