HIGH IQ CELS : What are the impact of cursed Rubber bands on face ?

[Bechadish]

I've found nothing on it tbh, scientifically wise.

There won't be any impacts. The idea of bone-shaping is based upon three founding principles: age, force strength, and consistency. When you see those African tribes who have weird alien shaped skulls from their tradition of shaping their skulls, they do it on babies who have the most malleable bones; as you age your bones become much less malleable. If you're reading this, unless you're a prodigy your bones are not very malleable compared to what they were as a child. Secondly, the strength of force matters. They could literally feel their skulls deforming. A rubber band is never in natural circumstances going to have enough force. And lastly, the consistency of force matters as well. They applied a heavy constant force to their heads for years after infancy for their skulls to shape. You aren't going to go outside with rubber bands on your head looking like a retard. If you want to shape your skull this isn't it. This doesn't even get into how hard it would be to shape your skull into a desirable shape.

i was talking about the forward growth, the nose shape basically, not the skull shape

So rubber bands are mostly used to correct dental malocclusion without significantly changing with the surrounding soft and hard tissues as orthognathic surgery does. Depending on the type (Class I,II & III, anterior, zigzag, cross bite etc.) and the position they're placed in, they force the movement of the misaligned teeth to a proper position between them. However, even the the ones with the heaviest force applied are not supposed to affect anything else other than the teeth that are being treated, so there's likely no impact by their use alone especially on the midface area which you're saying. What is by definition expected to change is the lip position since it's the soft-tissue entity that directly surrounds the teeth and most of the time, the lip appearance is improved.

However, significant changes in facial areas other than the lips, especially on the nose, during orthodontic treatment (doesn't really depend on the use of elastics) in children and adolescents have been documented.

Soft-tissue changes during facial growth in skeletal Class II individuals

The problem is, you can't really know if such changes can be attributed to orthodontic treatment or facial development related to aging. The only way to mitigate any significant facial change when the patients are in the developmental stage would be to postpone it if the malocclusion is not severe enough. Take the last sentence with a huge grain of salt as I'm not a medical practitioner so I can't provide treatment advice.

it was class II ones.
And what about 4 teeth extractions ?
So you'r implying that the braces themselves are more prone to produce facial change than anything else ?

I'm always questioning the impact of it, i would really like to know the truth.

Professionnal as always !
