Ive been wearing rubber bands for my overbite for the last 8 months and I noticed that It really didnt help fix my overbite and rather just recessed my maxilla. I have stopped wearing them for like 2 weeks now and had the plan to ask my doctor if I could swap my rubber bands out for forsus/herbst appliance. However recently Ive been getting a lot of tiktoks of people hating on herbst appliance specifically saying that you should wear your rubber bands or else you will be punished with herbst appliance. I do not understand what they do not like about it for me it seems optimal for perfect jaw development during puberty.

You were probably already recessed
