wait you got rubber bands like elastics? wouldnt that recess your maxilla?

Nah when you get them they give u these little color things they put on them and you get to chose a color for your braces which are purely cosmetic, and also the elastics are what fixes the overbite by bring your jaw forward

elastics bring the upper jaw backward and the lower jaw forward. but if my overbite is not too severe, i dont think i would need them

If you are getting braces to fix overbite thats the only way is with elastics

If it's only a mild overbite invisilign can fix that i'm pretty sure, I wore my elastics alot and I am not recessed however I did get mine on at 12 and got them off a 14

How severe is your crossbite?

 

[vevcred2_0]

How severe is your crossbite?

and how bad are your crooked teeth?

 

[Loruki]

How severe is your crossbite?

noticeable asymmetry in the face. it doesnt interfere with chewing or eating food. the left side just hits my teeth voluntarily more than the right

 

[Loruki]

and how bad are your crooked teeth?

not that bad. just worn down a little from grinding from overbite and stress. ima get resin to fill in the crakcs

You might want to go with invisalign if neither are that serious

Actually on second thought you might want to go with braces if you have an asymmetrical maxilla

Where specifically are you asymmetries

 

[Loruki]

Where specifically are you asymmetries

left jaw, temple area, and cheekbone

Yeah you can probably fix with invisalign then, if you have maxilla asymmetries though then I would go with braces
