more trust in this website rather than my ortho
they gonna tell u if u need braces (most likely do) and if u wanted braces then he/she'd put u on
this only fixes ur teeth positioning and slight bite correction over time but they deffo know better than incels on a forum

but tbh from the pictures i think u should worry about expansion first and the ortho might tell u the same braces alone seems like cope for this case :unsure:

Wait that’s quite surprising? Can you tell me more about your lifestyle / diet when you were a kid. Do your parents have narrow faces because that may explain your poor craniofacial development through epigenetics. Honestly I’d go for regular braces if I were you. I tried Invisalign but I struggle to keep them in and it takes longer than just braces. Are the other parts of ur skull developed? Sorry for bombarding u with questions but ngl i can maybe help

No, Quite the opposite everyone in my family has good bone genes, especially my dad, Very large wide face, and my mum no problems either

which would be better?
Marpe is probably the better choice since headgear is mostly for growing children but it depends on the situation

K, you said you ate lots of raw dairy and lots of meat. What ages did u eat this type of diet?

Well theres obv not enough room for teeth inside, try to get MARPE/MSE or other maxilla expander from the state or country you live in

After that you will get braces and you are good to go

(that operation costs around 4k-8k euro, depends on the device you install on top of your mouth)

mark this as a solution

Palette looks narrow. Bring up an expander with your ortho and see what he tells you

I’m pretty sure by just telling him u struggle with breathing insurance would cover it, but u can also add that u have a difficulty to chew and it hurts
 
ur teeth being fucked isn’t the end of the world?
