Feel the pressure mostly in my nose, and right cheekbone. Almost no pressure in left cheekbone. Ortho doesn’t seem to think that is an issue. Post split we are doing slow turn protocol once a week, will that maybe help normalize the pressure so that I expand symmetrically? That’s the main concern.

Also is the nose pressure indicative of being close to split? Ortho originally said it should split in 6-8 turns. We also did corticopunctures.

I had corticopunctures done. It’s been almost a week since install. No pain at this point but I started feeling these two bumps. The anterior one is pretty small but I still feel it with the tongue. The posterior one between the screws is a lot more prominent, still no pain. Should I let my ortho know?

I did take a 5 day course of antibiotics after install.

I know it’s faint. But like I see a line. Also it seems super asymmetrical? Will this be a problem?

Sorry for the saliva on the MSE. I got some crowding as you can see and my bite is pretty bad, but I don’t have breathing issues currently, and not particularly conscious about my teeth. I just don’t want to look uncanny after this treatment. Screws haven’t been installed yet. Ortho didn’t look at CBCT but I had one and the top teeth are coming straight down with imw of 40mm and the bottom teeth are angled in a bit. 40mm at the lowest point and 34 mm where they meet the upper teeth.

Started having hairloss at 15. It felt pretty aggressive then, but I feel like it has slowed down although I do also feel like my hair is less dense and coarse as it used to be when I was 14. 1st image is 14, next two are 17 and last images are at 20. I’m grateful to have hair but I still worry about this so any perspective is appreciated. Ive used minoxidil on and off but consistently for months at a time. I do think it thickened the hair a bit but not drastically. I’ve tried using it on my beard area as well for almost a year consistently and got mediocre results. All that to say I don’t think I’m a hyper responder to it, but I did feel my heart rate and anxiety go up during use so if it’s not necessary I’d like to stop using it.

Was told to do marpe. Freaked out and cancelled operation today. Planning to get braces removed as well. Doesn’t seem like I have other options though and this would have been the best time for marpe.

I already have some asymmetry, my lower jaw projects more to my right. I’m also 20M so I’m concerned if I’m doing marpe too late and may experience complications that could lead to asymmetry. I have a slightly narrow upper and mild underbite which you can kind of see from the pictures, which is why my ortho is recommending marpe, which I get on in a week. I got a big nose too, so I’m concerned about that getting worse or even tilting to one side. Extremely worried. If anyone can provide perspective pls do.
