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

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
