Title was clickbait, I’m ltn lol, but rate my plan to ascend

I’ve got a narrow palate, recessed jaw, and a recessed mandible.I’m currently 13, soon to turn 14 so here’s my plan on how to maybe ascend before my bones fuse

Rapid Palate Expander
Facemask
Herbst device
Braces afterwards

I’ve got hope that I’m just gonna turn into hmtn and have noticeable orbitals (my mom has prominent ones), have a longer looking ramus, etc. following this plan. key word hope
Thoughts?

thoughts are you log off this forum
 
From 13 to 15 there is a good growth of the jaw. So I think it will work
 
Theoretically it could work if you ACTUALLY have these issues, but time of the essence, beyond a certain age none of this will work for you.
  • Rapid Palate Expander: Most people on this site who claim they need a palate expander don't actually need it and their palate is otherwise normal, so they shut down pretty quickly by any orthodontist about it. If you can get it, great, but if you make it to 16 without it a palate expander is no longer an option and you'll need MSE.
  • Face Mask: A face mask does NOT correct functional issues for people beyond the age of ~9. If you have any issues with your bite this may help correct this up to your mid-late teens, but it won't fix any aesthetic issues, this is why almost no one above 10 years is put through this.
  • Herbst device and Braces afterwards: Maybe?
