Most Orthos are pushing your maxilla back but only if your braces are for overbite. If they are smart they dont do that and push your mandible forward. Still even if the push your maxilla back which would recess it a bit , its not a big problem because they will recess your maxilla so little that you will probably not notice. If your overbite is insanly bad then its going to be a problem because then they are going to pull it to far back. As a conclusion just talk to your ortho what he does with elastics and ask if he could push mandible forward:feelsokman::feelsokman::feelsyay::feelsyay:

I think braces help your forward growth long term, but when you wear them you do look like a nerd so in that sense it's a "looksmin", braces looksmax foids tho it makes them look cute imo :owo:

I've heard that Japan is starting to not consider crooked teeth a beauty standard anymore afaik

Braces only look good on chad when he wears them (water) but even then a chad would look better without them

I think it's worth it in the long run, teeth are very underrated in this community I'd say

yea ur right, i dont really know what to ask tho, should I just ask what the braces are gonna affect?
ask him how he is going to fix your overbite. He will most definintely say with elastics. Than you ask him if he is going to pull your maxilla back with elastics or if he is pulling the mandible forward. The second would be better. If he says the first try to convince him . Still even if he pulls it back it would change that much and you wouldnt notice it:feelsokman::feelsyay::feelsyay:

got it, and if all he does is pull the maxilla back I wouldnt see any foward growth right?

Then you're almost surely fine. If you're like 9 years old and get braces and a permanent retainer, it could stop your jaw from growing properly
im getting a retainer with probably 18 would it be bad. What exactly would stop growing. My palate wide?

Actually a looksmax until you open your mouth - at least for me. The brackets give me lip support and my mouth looks better. Plus the forced occlusion makes me jut.

Braces are fine, just never get premolar extractions unless you have something like bimaxillary protrusion.

Lower premolar extraction is fine if it's in prep for lower jaw surgery.

Basically just keep all your teeth in your mouth and you are good.
