I have gotten braces and I am really insecure about my smile. I'll upload an image of my palate and my face. My face is already wide enough (2.01 fwhr) but palate is narrow ig.

Also I am missing a tooth and I'm getting implant for it. Front profile has distortion so don't mind please.

Alright thanks. I was just curious if it would make my face wider. I don't want that
it would make ur face wider tho, but if ur having problems with breathing or sleeping cuz of ur breathing then also get advice from an orthodontist

pretty sure any ortho would diagnose that he needs one in like .2 milliseconds though. u have braces, surprised your ortho hasnt already said something; what the hells this guy doing

i mean they dont have any correlation, the airways dont get affected by crowded teeth, crowded teeth can cause smaller palate and that can lead to extractions and expansions what u want is expansion so the airways get bigger which leads to more air(obviously)

exactly and thats what I said to the ortho, I said I wanted a palatel expansion and that the problem was the bone not the teeth. He just laughed at me the bastard
 
talk to a professional that can do what’s most healthy for you, ime healthy shit tends to be more attractive as long as its not too bad
