herbst appliance, enough said, mark as solution.
rep. this guy KNOWS what hes rambling about
My orthodontist said it's so minimally recessed that nothing can be done about it with braces
because braces dont cause mandibular forward growth....is your ortho stupid
He means that he can't do anything about it
i mean while your braces are in yeah i doubt you could get a herbst but after theyre out there is 0 reason for a herbst not to work. is it possible he doesnt know what it is?
Last Monday, I went to see him and explained that it bothers me that my chin is set back. He told me that there’s nothing he can do about it right now, and that my chin will grow naturally and should move a little forward as I get older. He also said that if I want it to look different sooner, the only options are to grow a beard or have surgery
Do you really think he won’t say anything else? I’ve had braces before, but never anything like a palate expander
trust me visit a different ortho, yours is retarded.
I will try it
I went to a different orthodontist, and he said I have an overjet, but it's not extreme, and a narrow tongue space. My mandible is slightly recessed and tends to grow downwards, and there's nothing that can be done orthodontally; they've already tried everything possible. Is there anything I can do to help my jaw grow forward? I musst really say that I have a good base but my side profile and mandible are fucked up
