Completed last turn on MARPE on 9th Jan. Total (net, as I went back and forth a bit towards the end) 65 turns = ~5.42mm lateral skeletal expansion of upper jaw going by the device design. IMW (Intermolar width) increased by 7mm from 31 – 38mm.

Note – I’m using 3D Slicer and couldn’t figure out a setting that showed the bone nicely with this one. Possibly because the metal of the expander is much denser so it skews the range. Please send me an email/comment if you know how to get it to render well. I don’t need detail on the expander.
