I committed to my MARPE journey in August 2024, driving 3 hours to my orthodontist and getting measurements. They custom-designed my appliance, and I had it inserted on Oct 9, 2024. It's now been 13 weeks, so I'm sharing a quick update.

    Thank you for updating us. May i please ask you, what about the lower jaw? Now that the upper jaw is wider, doesn't that affect the bite and cause a maloclusion? Do you have any plan for it? I want to expand too but all the orthodontists in my area are refusing it because of my lower jaw that can not be expanded non-surgically :'(

    Great uodate❤ are you noticing any changes overall? Guessing nose breathing is better

    • @JourneytoImprovedSleep
      @JourneytoImprovedSleep 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, the nose floor expansion has improved, although I've always been a nose breather. However with the expansion, I'm ever more misaligned and now get very dry in my mouth/throat/post-nasal areas, which has me waking to drink multiple times a night.

      @@christinal434 Dr Coppleson said we'd reassess jaw surgery after expansion but that my hypermobilty syndrome makes jaw surgery less predictable😐

    Has the quality of your sleep declined after the installation? I've heard some people are having issues because the expander prevents the tongue from resting properly on the palate

    • @JourneytoImprovedSleep
      @JourneytoImprovedSleep 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I can see that happening, because your tongue is going to hit screws (which is my case). I have to finagle my tongue at times in the night, but for me my sleep has been a bit better. Mind you, my sleep is HORRIBLE. I stop breathing 20x/hr and I'm up many times a night. But it's been the same or a bit better for ME this 1st week.

    • @JourneytoImprovedSleep
      @JourneytoImprovedSleep 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I had my 10th turn last night, and I awoke after 3 hours with a touch of nausea & headache... very slight. I only got 1 more hour of sleep after that.😩
