So I wore braces from 13-14 and was supposed to wear a nighttime retainer for 12 hours a day. I didn’t think it mattered so until recently (17 now) I had stopped wearing it
As a result:
I notice that upper tooth on both sides is completely misaligned.
I also realized I have many classic traits of underdeveloped maxilla and palate
Narrow lips at rest, 8 teeth when smiling, midface slightly too long, jaw slightly too narrow, a tiny bit recessed in general
Does it look like I could benefit from palatal expansion or any type of orthodontic treatment? Could It still work at my age? I’m pretty sure In men bones keep developing until about 20-21 so this could be lifefuel
