So a few months ago i went to the ortho (i have underbite, narrow palette and teeth crowding. which i think caused slight maxilla recession because i cant fully mew only the tip and middle of my tounge touch the roof of my mouth) and they extracted a tooth (for braces i assume) back then i was oblivious and had no clue that this could fuck me over so what do i do now?

But i advise you to just listen to your orthodontist, aslong as they are not gonna talk about pulling out teeth and pushing the maxilla back to meet the mandible

Oh yeah you def have a narrow palate, getting a palate expander would do you wonders
It’s not to late though is it? Maxilla is slightly recessed due to not being able to mew properly since my tounge hits the sides of my teeth and i heard the maxilla stops growing forward at like 12

Not too late to expand your palate. But you will most likely not see and more forward growth in your maxilla

dam that’s unfortunate, even if im 15? Wish my parents new proper development
Probably, kind of depends on the growth you have left. I think you can get headgear though which will pull the maxilla forward. You can talk with the orthodontist and say you have severe breathing problems because of your maxilla. Maybe you can get headgear from them. It is not all orthodontist that has headgear though. But remember not all looks is dependent on your maxilla, you can still look good with a slight recess.

Anyway start with a palate expander and then see from there

Maxilla aint even that recessed, its decent. Infras is for sure recessed but your supras are insanely good actually. You aint got much to worry about
Old pic i look better now but is the recession visible ?
