Hi, I am kinda new to this forum, although, I have lurked here quite often. So let me get my account started with my treatment plan.
I am getting MSE soon, I can’t remember if the orthodontist said June 27 or July 27 but I will get an email prior. My orthodontist is Dr. Llon Clendenen based in Tulsa and I found him through the MSE user group, had a virtual consultation with him and he told me he can do MSE and FM for me.
A few days ago, I met him in real life to get my X-rays, scans, digital impressions done for the lab to make my MSE, had about a 30 minute chat with him, he told me I would be expanding 6 mm transversely, I didn’t question it, because I believe if I go any further, it might cause strain to my joints (just like Ead when he turned over 84 turns) and/or ruin my occlusion and have to get MSDO or SFOT. So yeah, I agreed to it. My IMW right now is 40 mm and will be going to 46mm and expanding sagittally for as much as I can without ruining my soft tissue, I have actual bimax protrusion and my ortho said over protracting my jaws could lead to my teeth protruding out of my lips, so he’s gonna monitor how much I protract. He mentioned my overbite and he said FM would help fix it, because the mandible will upswing. My dad asked him to morph what I’ll look like after the treatment is over so I am excited for that. That was about all I got from the IRL consultation. And yes, I will be uploading my profiles and maybe my CBCTS after it is done.
Total: $6.7k
Monthly payment plan: $270
This all includes MSE+FM+Braces+Retainers+Lingual torquing of the upper molars
Sounds good man, wish I could afford MSE myself. Or I wish they even done it in my country...
are there any alternatives besides lingually torqueing the teeth, msdo, sfot, or any sort of invasive surgery
@mewisit
No man, nothing you can do that's not invasive. Although, lingual torquing and buccal flaring is not invasive. It is an orthodontic method of fixing crossbites or brodie bites. You may be able to expand without damaging your occlusion if your lower arch compared to your upper arch is wide enough or your upper arch before MSE is significantly narrower than your bottom arch.
