Is my nose bump due to downward grown maxilla

[WasabiCarrot]

I had an overbite as a kid, so from 6-7th grade I had braces with bands to correct my bite. I’ve done some research and I’ve heard that this could be the cause to my downward grown maxilla. I was wondering if the bump on my nose was caused by my maxilla growth, and what are some ways to achieve more forward growth. I’ve been working on tongue posture and have tried neck curls but not sure if it’s cope or not. I am 16 almost 17 years old.

tongue posture not cope, make sure to fix bad habits e.g mouth breathing

I breathe through my nose but I’ve noticed I have a tendency to just have my mouth open sometimes. I believe I also sleep with my mouth open but I am positive that I breathe through my nose

ask ur orthodontists for a marpe expander, it will help u breathe through ur nose at night more.

The only thing is that I’ve gone through braces already and my teeth are straight but if that’s what I need to do then I might consider it

where is the maxilla tho

its useless if ur growth plates are closed, cause if u get a wider maxilla it can help develop ur maxilla forward but if ur done developing, ur maxilla will stay in the same position. if ur growth plates are still open, get reverse head gear or a bamp device+mse. the bamp device provides constant pressure by pulling the maxilla forward.

I’m turning 17 in may so my growth plates are probably closed by now. I remember I had to get a X-rays last year for my knee and it showed my growth plates were closed, but on the MRI it showed they were slightly open.

I'm sorry to say but theres not much u can do to grow ur jaw if ur growth plates are almost closed, if u care that much u could get a lefort but i dont advise.

The only type of surgery i think I would consider is rhino since my nose has been my biggest insecurity. From what I’ve read though, I’m pretty sure my nose is due to my maxilla not being grown properly but I’m still not positive about that.

a rhino, is a good idea and I strongly suggest some implants around your ramus to make ur mandible and gonial angle look much better, and thats basically all u need to hit lmtn-lhtn And yes ur nose bump is likely caused because of ur downward grown maxilla. good luck.

Thanks. For once I’ve finally got some solid advice on here
