In this video I discuss two potential options for people who are on the fence about pursuing palatal expansion:
1) do nothing (which is better than doing the wrong thing, such as a toothborne expander)
2) consider a conservative MSE expansion of just a few millimeters, which offers some guaranteed functional and aesthetic upside while reducing risk of MSE downside.

Micah has struggled with sleep disordered breathing for most of his life, which led him to CPAP therapy. He is now looking to get jaw expansion, starting with the less invasive MSE and then if needed, moving on to jaw surgery. He's also interested in meditation and Ron's experience of living in a Buddhist monastery for 2 years.
