My palate was widened and lowered. My tongue fits perfectly now. That's strange that your palate is higher CK.

4 more years of partisan BS. We'll probably be dealing with Hillary after that. No end in sight.

Any thoughts as to why Ryan's  palate lowered but CK's palate stayed high?

Don't have retainers yet. Still have just under 2 months left in braces.

I was thinking less CCW for CK. CCW rotation lowes the posterior portion of the midface.

Maybe CK is referring to the front of his palate?  Would make sense if he had anterior impaction.

Did you have an impaction yourself? how many mm ?

I had about 4mm of impaction.

Yeah, the front portion of the hard palate is what I'm referring to.

the hard is fairly high/vaulted as well.

Did the lowering affect bone structure or soft tissue on the outside in any way from what you can tell?

Not sure what you mean exactly. I had jaw surgery and my face has changed because of it. I have more support behind my upper arch.

I guess did your face get longer or wider?
