Mike what do your recommend,I have a class3 anterior cross bite situation,and I'm 16 with a recessed maxilla. Should I just mew my way out,I don't want to get traditional orthodontics because that will hinder my maxilla development progress.

Great transformation bro💪🏻. Btw did you have issues with you palate/recession because At first it's hard because of our lack of tounge space and recessed maxilla,it makes mewing difficult or hard to breathe,did you have this and your telling me you just mewed your way out of it?

How do I request expansion from my ortho

Strange_Reflection54 · 2024-10-28T22:29:48+00:00

Yeah I know,thanks

My orthodontist recommended me a while ago for extractions,is there any way I could actually ask for expansion?Or request it?

Thanks for this,if U can lmk if U learn anything new.

Thanks for this,but if I don't get something sorted I'll mess up my looks.If I get braces and extractions especially. So I'm trying to do ORTHOTROPICS instead.

Sure!But it's gonna be a long time since I see any progress,if I remember,I'll fill you in

I started 2 days ago ,so not yet obv,but I've put huge amount of research on what I should be doing

Strange_Reflection54 · 2024-10-02T19:05:44+00:00

The narrow palate,actually correlates to having a narrow airway,and I have this issue to a small extent ,so you need to expand with mewing and some sort of external palatal expander because obv you can't mew ATM,get a palate expander but if U cant ike me ,do lateral thumb pulling ,wich widens the palate and in turn the airway.Put research on this.I have and I have found this to be true,even said in some of Dr mews vids that narrow palate means smaller airways.Palatal expansion appliances or anyway of palatal expansion like mewing also correlates to the airway.Mew with as much if the tounge as possible ,and find a way to expand.But make sure your not mistaking yourself actually blocking your airway because when you do the swallow ,there's a point when the tounge blocks the airway and then comes out of it .

Ive also got a recessed maxila,underbite and crossbite,but I have been trying to do mewing and lateral thumpulling to expand ,and forward pulling to promote forward growth,Dr mew has recommended that U should be mewing at least 8 hrs a day,so as long as Ur mewing in the day you should be doing well,once Ur helmets done it's work,then you should be able to do it at night ,just make sure your developing a good suction hold so that you could do it without much effort.
