If u were younger, using twin block or herbst appliances could have worked, but not now (16 is considered adult age in orthodontics)

Your issue is caused by weak maxillary growth, and it can only be addressed with le fort i surgery, which advances the maxilla upward and forward.

Make sure to mark this post as solution, just click the check mark on my right
