Hello my name is Alex. I’am from Europe. I’am pretty new in all this mewing movement and especially orthotropics. I’am 26 years old and I never knew how much was tongue posture important. Through my life I was mostly nose breather, but I know that in the middle of the puberty I was breathing through the mouth for maybe 2-3 years. At that time I was exclusively chewing food on my left side so today I have aysmmeyrical face and underdeveloped lower jaw with narrow smile and palate. My left jaw is wider then my right. I found that my upper palate doesn’t have enough space for my tongue. IMW is 36mm. I want to get to 50mm zone. I’am not professional, but I think than I have good forward growth but lack the lateral one. Now I’am in doubt which device is the best for my case. From what I read, I’am not sure if I want AGGA. I was searching a lot about DNA, but heard that only accomplish alveolar ridge expansion. I mailed the clinic who offers the DNA treatment. They confirm that DNA only expand palate not the actual jaw, skelet. But I would really like to get some mandibule and maxilla expansion. From what I know this is only possible with MSE/MARPE.

If anybody have experience with different kind of appliances, please let me know. What’s are cons and pros of DNA vs MSE?

I‘am very thankful for every kind of information. This forum is definitely one of the best things for craniofacial development. I’am attaching some pics to get better point of view.

 Thanks guys!
