For crowding only as far as I know... My orthodontist didn't mention anything about my bite.

Ok, I thought it was for an open bite and I had the same question !

Hey, Impec your bite sounds very similar to how mine was. I also had a cross-bite as well. I found it really hard to find an orthodontist who was willing to use TAD's. I agree that the surgery is too invasive and you can still get relapse as well. Try to avoid finding an orthodontist that solely us...

So speedy did you happen to do it or no ? Any updates ?

Good to know ! I can't wait to see the updates !

I'm a new member and I cannot see the pictures for now, I wish I could check them. I have a severe 6mm open bite with some crowding and a light cross bite.

Wow can't wait to reach such results. I'm still looking for a good ortho, one with experience with TADS.

Nice ! I read your blog and it's really well documented. I'm in the same situatikn and I'm looking for an experienced orthodontist with TADS. Never heard of MARPE and I don't even think people are aware of it in Canada. Keep up the good work !

I'm a new member so I can't see the pictures but I will say that this forum helped me a lot. I almost made the mistake to select an orthodontist after visiting 5 of them, none of them talked to me about TADs. Surgery is not an option for me because i find it too invasive and the recovery is too long...
