RME is rapid maxillary expansion which is just palate expansion at a faster rate (not favorable)
Yes! braceshop is legit. Make sure to send good moulds and they will fit fine. The best ones imo would be the maxillary plate / the upper jaw plate. If it sits higher in the palate the expansion would be more structural. The Y plate just doesn't really hit the upper areas where it really counts. The other one that looks good is the 3 pin expansion plate which has screws near the back of the molars.
Thank you! Can you link which ones I should buy please? Also, would I need to wear retainers once done with this?
Another question, don't I need to expand my lower jaw as well?
Thanks again
, appreciate it - I've been wanting to do this for some time, but I get easily overwhelmed with all the information and it's not exactly cheap...
