Is my maxilla recessed or not?

[Deleted member 148949]

I can’t tell if my maxilla is recessed can someone let me know if I need expanders or not

flat midface, less jaw definition. Expanders could help if you’re young, but if you’re an adult, results drop off. it’s mostly genetic, surgery’s the only real fix, and even then, no guarantees.

Still though you could have a point though. Surgery is guaranteed to make them come forward but could potentially make it look uncanny

Does expander help forward growth?

 

[lifemaximizer]

Forward growth is what you need, but on the positive side, you have a good Nasolabial angle and good hair.
