Hi all,

Can cranial osteopathy assist in moving the maxilla forward, even slightly?

And for anyone who has used MARPE/MSE or SARPE, did your maxilla come forward as a result of the expansion?

Thanks.

Typically for kids... palatal expansion (which causes a disarticulation of the jaw).. will allow it to move more naturally where it wants (forward is how it usually goes along the maxillary plane).

Thanks, @darkindigo! That's what I'm hoping for as I don't think my orthodontist will give me a facemask.
