Maxillari retrusion can be corrected after puberty with Wolf Law processes

That validates the bone remodeling process by Wolf Law processes like Mewing etc in facial bones area (no growth plates in ur face just sutures)

I think that the physical reactivation of the facial sutures zones by soft long term forces (that weren't present before) allow them overtime to correct a residual growth deficiency (if ur genetical state allows it in his self expression of course) to adapt to the new pattern of forces established if ur bones are not yet in the resorbing part due to the drop of hormonal levels with aging (andropausis)

Bone remodeling to correct maxillary deficiency after growth cessation

This case report presents a 22-year-old girl with class III malocclusion due to maxillary deficiency. The patient was referred for presurgical orthodontics; however, she rejected the surgery. This case was treated by means of Tongue appliance and slow ...

"Maxillary deficiency was successfully corrected by means of tongue appliance, slow palatal expansion, lower fixed appliance, reverse chin cup, and upper fixed appliance."

This another study dedied to jaw bone validates the Wolf Law process of Chewing, it seems too that the jaw bone is the most responsive facial bone to forces

Jawbone remodeling: a conceptual study based on Synchrotron High-resolution Tomography - Scientific Reports

One of the most important aspects of bone remodeling is the constant turnover mainly driven by the mechanical loading stimulus. The remodeling process produces changes not only in the bone microarchitecture but also in the density distribution of the mineralized matrix - i.e. in calcium...

EFFECTS OF GROWTH HORMONE ON THE ONTOGENETIC ALLOMETRY OF CRANIOFACIAL BONES

Organism size is controlled by interactions between genetic and environmental factors mediated by hormones with systemic and local effects. As changes in size are usually not isometric, a considerable diversity in shape can be generated through modifications ...

"This suggests that systemic factors such as hormones and external stimuli can induce the same response in morphological traits, and that the nature of this response depends on the timing of the perturbation in relation to the intrinsic trajectory of growth of each structure. Clearly, the regulation of growth through systemic factors along with environmental interactions is a major source of phenotypic variation in complex morphological structures which is still only beginning to be understood."
