I just got approved for Damon braces and I’m scheduled to get them on in two weeks. I’m pretty happy as my mouth is my biggest failo.
I am slightly recessed due to an 80% deep bite. However I have a wide palate, so thankfully there is no need for maxillary expansion, just a dental arch widening.
Some benefits my ortho said I could expect are:
- 10 tooth smile (I show barely 8)
- Teeth fitting into arch
- Easier to nose breathe
- Easier to properly swallow
- Easier to mew (tongue posture)
- Obvious teeth alignment. This will make my teeth form a straight line instead of curving up and down in the middle.
- Possible CCWR (not definite, and if there is it’s small)
- Make my lips wider
- Mandible will shift forward slightly.
My ortho is also decently blackpilled, and said that they place an emphasis on facial development and forward growth for teens and children.
I believe I could easily ascend 1-1.5 PSL if this is done correctly.
Now, for everyone who is similar to me, find a good ortho, not a Jewish dentist that will shill you Invisalign, and get Damon.
I’m attaching a before photo for anyone interested in my before/after progress.
I’m 15 right now, so hopefully mewing and chewing will save me. I might experiment with other methods on here to induce a CCWR.
