I've been thinking of getting braces but have heard that rubberbands can cause maxillary recession. My mandible is recessed and I have a slight overjet and slight overbite. I don't know how to explain my maxilla right now as it seems like only the upper part of it is recessed and I also have a narrow palate. What are some things I should know before getting braces or even my teeth looked at when talking to an orthodontist?
