The title basically says it all. If someone undergoes orthodontic therapy with braces but doesn't have any teeth extracted, will they end up with a recessed maxilla? Or does this only occur if teeth are extracted?

Just trying to figure out how fucked up my maxilla might be because I had braces when I was a teenager (no extractions though).
