make sure (AT ALL COSTS!) they only move your alveolar ridge forward, and not your mandible back

Why not mse + facemask then braces?

Nah my parents won’t pay for either of those but if they only move my upper jaw forward technically I should actually ascend right?

ur lower third will be good esp after the mandible autorotates and its visibility increases. However since ur class 3 ur midface is likely recessed and u'll have to do something abt it

I think they might use elastics to fix it, which will definitely recess your mandible

Braces can't actually move the maxilla forward bro.

Yeah that’s brutal idk If this ortho was trying to fear monger me into recessing my face because he said my bite is giga fucked and I’ve weared down the enamel on my teeth

Le Fort 1 tbh

Braces only move teeth not jaws and they can’t cause you to recede by themselves

Are u sure what I’m getting done won’t move my jaw?

 

[Stare]

What about MSE

That should work if you combine with face mask

Hard mewing with correct body posture. All the doctor can do with braces is bring both jaws back and down.
