Even though it may seem that “braces” flatten the maxilla or recess it, this is simply not true in fact (with research) braces can fix slight underbites. Also braces could narrow the palette but this can be compensated with expanders. If the maxilla looks recessed after the treatment it could be your maxilla’s fault instead of the braces. Braces simply try to correct the bite of the teeth (depending on severity of malocclusion).
