I'm 13 years old, and I have a class 2 overbite. They previously prescribed me some regular elastics, but I want to get mandibular growth.
Ive also read some studies on how a Herbst appliance can restrict forward growth of the maxilla.
So, can anyone tell me if a Herbst appliance can recess or restrict the maxilla? If so, I will just use elastics.
And in my case, which should I rather sacrifice, maxilla or mandible?
