Curious… I have an extensive history with jaw/TMJs and facial muscle soreness. Muscle soreness is my only pain, the joints are arthritic but feel fine. I just learned I have a 32mm transverse measurement. My new airway dentist recommends Invisalign to push out my entire smile until I hit about 38mm. Because he’s not saying I need an expander I’m guessing my palates are ok but it’s just the smile itself that’s too narrow within it? I had an expander as a preteen, so I would think my palates were “made right” right that back in the day haha I’m 33 and had expander to fix a crossbite around age 10/11

I have a great smile so Invisalign shocked me for what he thinks could help my muscles (also tongue tie release with myo therapy)
