i have an over jet and clearly a recessed jaw to the point where i’m about to saw it the fuck off. anyway i’m getting invisalign but the payment isint due yet. now im hearing that invisalign only corrects teeth alignment. is braces a better option for asthetics? and no i cant get surgery in to young.

so it will hopefully give me some forward growth?
Pretty sure it wont. I got braces for 5 years and it only changed my teeth structure. Now theyre perfectly alligned but my jaw is still recessed asf and my maxilla is the same:feelswah:

They are near the same, thing is with invisalign they have all the trays ready so once your done you can just put the others on. Braces on the otherhand you have to see and correct with each appointment to see whats needed every month. But since you have overjet neither will do the work unless you have a appliance, I wrote a thread on how to fix overbite, overjet and deepbite. Short answer you need a appliances to fix it, or you will camouflaged.

so i should ask for the third appliance you said. i go in for my expander on the 7th so should i ask them about it?
 
probably too late for braces or invisalign to make any drastic changes to your recession

if you were younger they could potentially treat it but you'll probably need surgical advancement to fix it now

I cannot tell you specifically what's good for you without actually seeing you, but they do work. If your problem is actual recession though this wont do much Since a overbite is just a misplacement of your mandible. What type of expander are you getting? Because if its not marpe it might not actually cause skeletal expansion at ur age but just tip your teeth which is what braces and invisalign do.

i don’t know i have to ask the ortho. this thread is making me fucking scared tho it might be fucking over. i’m a recessed idiot rn and i thought my expander and invisalign would help and from what i hear it’s not gonna. plus the egregious overbite

Don't get scared ur still young its not "over" Just dont expect unrealistic results that will change you completely. Find a ortho who aligns with you.
