discussion with my ortho today

[herring]

"i'm unsure about putting on these elastics every night, won't that recede my maxilla a bit?"

"nah m8, don't worry, it just repositions your teeth resulting in your mandible moving backwards instead"

jfl ngl tbh, my mandible stays where it is

I'm so glad I was a stubborn kid who didn't wear his elastics.

Yeah for real.

MSE and IMDO exist, but we are getting extractions and elastics instead.

on one hand you guys say you can't move bone in adults without surgery and yet you're so worried about fucking elastics???? lol
