Can removable braces make your palate wider and give you forward growth?

[Faith1]

I have asked this my orthodontist, he said it will give me minimal to no forward growth at all but is there any way to maximise this? I heard 2mm of forward growth is possible if you just wear them normally. I will be wearing them for a year but I think I will ask him if I could wear them longer. So let's just say I wear these braces at home and for around 12 hours a day. What would I need to do to maximise forward growth or how much forward growth is expected?

The removal braces alone doesn’t really have a big impact on forward growth. you should ask your orthodoncist to get a facemask (also called reverse pull headgear), which works together with the expander to pull the maxilla forward.

This unless you are above 20 or something and have all sutures ossified.

A menos que tengas más de 20 años o algo así y todas tus suturas estén osificadas.

I forgot to say that, thank u broda

Thanks but either way I'll just stick to the removable braces since it's the only option for me now
