i got rid of my braces abt 1 year ago, before i had them removed my ortho gave me 2 options, either extract all 4 of my premolars, or stop the treatment altogether, ofc i chose to stop the treatment, cus i was super afraid of losing my premolars, we continued the treatment for abt a month then i got my braces removed, i had a little bit of an overjet, rly small one bcs one of my incisors was rly big bcs it was glued back on after an accident i had when i was little. So a few weeks ago i chose to go back to the ortho to fix that overjet, and he suggested to either do the extractions like he did a few years ago (ofc i declined cus i dont want to recess my maxilla), or strip my teeth so they get thinner to gain some space, then i suggested palatal expansion, and for no reason at all, and no explanation, he declined, saying i didnt need it, so i went to another ortho who had the same exact opinion, and i js gave up. So i'm asking y'all for tips to ascend my maxilla and zygos cus they're narrow and recessed asf, its not abt the teeth anymore my mandible just looks disproportioned compared to my maxilla and its lwk ridiculous

They can't tell you what to do with your own mouth and jaws you can go get expansion if you want which is the best option you just need to find a based ortho
If it helped I'd appreciate if u could mark as a solution( ☑ not the thumb ) ❤️

go get proper scans, expansion without a deficiency can seriously fuck up your face. If you do really have a narrow palate then you can bring those scans to an ortho who does expansion and discuss it
