Is there a way to have forward growth without shortening my midface?

[rigma]

Hello, starting off, I wanna say im 15. Ihave a relatively normal midface. It’s a bit longer and from posts I’ve seen thats a good thing. However its kind of ruining my facial thirds, as my forehead and lower third are equal, the only thing missing is the mid-face length which is longer. The thing is my maxillas pretty recessed and my mandible and chin as well, since like 5 years ago Ive been a mouth breather and have had very bad posture. So the question arises, will getting forward growth thru thumb pulling and correct tongue posture and proper body posture, ruin my proportions? I look like im 12-13 or sum and I don’t wanna have a more compact midface than I already do.

TLDR; I wanna know if getting more forward growth would ruin my proportions and midface.


I know it may sound fucking stupid but Im genuinely confused because I constantly see mixed thoughts in this forum.

1. Having a shorter midface with forward growth is better than Ideal with a cuck Ccw 2. As you grow older you’re skull will get bigger, more forward growth would simply adjust this to correct the longer midface (your body naturally does this) any additional forward growth would most likely be “auto-corrected” by your skull but it won’t completely cancel out. Aka it might change a bit but it’s better than nun

It depends on what you view as "forward growth." If you mean bone positioning, it will become harder to achieve without compressing the midface. But if you just mean bone protrusion, then yes, you can either (if you believe in it) bone smash or get implants/fillers.
