30 yo, need to expand palate, move maxilla upward and forward, reduce gonial angle.
You can find the myobrace A1, A2, and A3 in both regular and large size from a few sellers on aliexpress. I have to say that I'm not totally sure it has helped my tongue posture. I guess the tongue tag is a good reminder to keep the tip of the tongue in position, but I was expecting the elevators to really push the middle of the tongue up against the palate and that hasn't happened for me. I'm confident it will help relieve crowding and might help with malocclusion, but I'm not sure that I would recommend it for tongue posture training alone. Also, be sure to order the right size. If your intermolar width is over about 40mm, the large might be too small for you.

30 yo, need to expand palate, move maxilla upward and forward, reduce gonial angle.
fwiw,
I started with a 37/38mm imw; I have purchased:
- authentic Myobrace Large p3 (for class 3)(from Alibaba)
- Dent-Care D3 Large (copy of Myobrace authentic A3)(from Alibaba)
- Azdent Trainer (1&2)(from Amazon)
IMO: the Azdent is by far the most comfortable , which allows me to wear it for longer periods of time. In addition, I can apply much more upwards force on my palate with this design. I workout 5x a week, and wear the Azdent 2 (clear one) during my lift and this forces me to nose-breath the entire time.
What is your imw now?

The sellers I have seen on aliexpress are NUODI Dental Appliace Store, ZZSMILE DENTAL Store, Orthodontic trainer Store, and Dentalsun Store. I can't vouch for their reliability, but I would just choose the best price. If your intermolar width is 37mm, I'd guess that you would want the large size, but I haven't tried the regular size so I can't say for certain. My intermolar width is around 40mm and I feel like the large size is slightly too small for me. You'll also have to decide which level of rigidity to order. I started with the A2 because I only had minimal crowding in my lower incisors. For the first week I couldn't sleep with it in through the night so I was making up hours during the day. Since then I've slept comfortably with it every night, and now I have ordered the A3 to fine tune my alignment. If you have more significant crowding, you might want to start with the A1.
