im asian so even though i have a good front and harmony my flat maxilla, chin recession, downward growth and ramus (although from where im at ramus isnt a big problem) fucks my facial structure. my maxilla causes smile lines that also fuck my face up and idk how else i can fix this at 14 other than a reverse pull headgear

reverse head gear is for little ahh kids iirc and wont work on you
 
how would that help my maxilla lol rpe is for palatal expansion and herbst is for moving lower jaw forward
Wider palate would contribute towards maxillary growth.
Moving your mandible forward with a herbst would fix your mandibular recession (which is causing your chin to be how it is correct?)
Does that not solve your problem

wider palate would only contribute a TINY bit towards maxillary growth if im not wrong since im already 14 and maybe im not sure about herbst and it fixing downward growth or chin recession however i think herbst is effective in that sense

herbst has a better ratio for lateral/saggital growth, meaning for like 10mm of lateral growth you'd get maybe 6-7mm of forward growth

i think there's a new appliance that gave some kid 11mm of forward growth/8mm of lateral growth but idk if it's legit
