You guys are my last hope!

#1 Post by Alcatrezmez »

I'm a 25 year old boy living in europe and I have a narrow arch (maxilla). This was diagnosed by a jaw surgeon and orthodontist and regular dentist. It not huge but I can use a few mm extra room. Als the jaw surgeon would like yo bribg both of my jaws forward. Anyways I have no problems with surgery, it's just I don't want SARPE.

I found out there is another way to expand the palate in adults and it's called MARPE. The problem is, I couldn't find a orthodontist who does this. Most of them I have visisted don't believe in it. Period. Even with al the proof that ot is possible. Anyways some of you probably don't agree but I'm not here for discussing whether it's a good idea or not but I need your help find a doctor who use MARPE in Europe. Belgium would be best but any other country like spain, france, uk, netherlands etc would also be good. Going to america or brazil (where docters actually do this) is goign to be super expensive and I can't do it.

Pls someone, I would really appreciate it!

I did not find anyone in Europe, but I wonder if the young California woman who writes this blog http://smileofsteel.weebly.com/blog/ma ... allation might have some ideas on the subject for you. Also, I'd recommend you reach out to the manufacturer of this device to see if there are any orthodontists in Europe who use it. Best of luck to you.

Hey man, thnks for the reply. She is actually one of the reason tho I don't think she would know one outside US. But I did find you're other suggestion really interesting. Only problem is: how do you find who manufactors these ? I googled it but with no succes. Do you know the manufacturing company?

Did you find any one in Europe who does MARPE?, I too have contacted 18 orthodontists in the UK and none of them do it, they all keep on mentioning SARPE. I has been stressful trying to find someone who does it in Uk. Please If you find anyone in Europe who does it please share.
