Is it really possible for an ortho to fix lower jaw recession in early puberty?

Once again depends on how severe the mandible recession is. If u have a photo show, but a class 2 recession can easily get fixed during early puberty if that’s ur case

I have turned 14 a few weeks ago. (so not really early puberty afaik) I don’t really want to post photos but yeah I have a class 2 recession. Of course I’m aware that you are not a doctor but is 14 too late?

Information on the net is confusing and I’ll see a real orthodontist for sure. I also noticed that I grow later compared to my friends.

Also, how can I find a good orthodontist? What do I look for?

Thanks

well depends on why the recession is there, there has to be a reason on its there’s did u try to research on what could the recession be caused from?, for example, mine is caused because my narrow palate is blocking my mandible from protruding forward, so a palate expander + bite blocks over the course of 2 years will fix my situation alone, no need for any surgery

I honestly don’t know. I have always breathed in through my nose, I kept proper tongue posture as long as I remember.

Although I haven’t measured my palate. I think I can say that it’s average or slightly below average.

Another topic I’d like to talk about:
I actually have been thinking that I need an expander for a few months now. But I’m already 14. Also I don’t think an orthodontist would just put an expander in there just because I wanted to or because my palate is not ideal or something.

I’m both young and a gray who doesn’t know what they’re doing, I just dont want to be left with a recessed lower third. Worst case scenario, I’ll try to find the money to get a bimax when I am older.
