After my diastema opened, the MARPE was left to retain the width as my orthodontist proceeded with the rest of the treatment. The first thing they added was a power chain between by front teeth to close the gap that had formed by pulling the teeth together. On my lower left side, they connected a power chain between my second and third molars to fix the incorrect rotation of my third molar. At every appointment for about 2-3 months they would replace this power chain to continue rotating the tooth. On my upper arch, the tooth just beside my right front tooth was always tucked in at an angle due to overcrowding. With the braces, this tooth was almost totally rotated to be facing out properly! By April my orthodontist said my crossbite had improved significantly! Still not perfect, but they planned to achieve the rest with palatal archwires and expansive wires on my braces. They told me the plan is to keep my MARPE in until about July....
