Orthotropic Appliances

[mitchellxss]

are orthotropic appliances cope? at 16 im trying to fix my deepbite and narrow palate have gotten advice that braces will actually pull back my maxilla and make me more recessed making the teeth aligned but not fixing the issue i actually have.

i believe i have class 2 div 1 malocclusion where my bottom incisors retrocline and cause my teeth to not match, i also suffer from a narrow palate which would also be fixed with an orthotropic appliance.

seeking advice in this thread cus i haven’t found many results online and i’ve seen mixed opinions about the effectiveness of orthotropics here

u reckon i should get mse before or after i fix my bite, i still dk how to fix it cus i dont really want retarted elastics and idk if any orthos will do other methods I've researched, and surgery isnt an option probs cus im not recessed and my bite is dental

I beltpulled both ways (ccw rotation and projection) with a mouthguard to fix the displacement of my jaws. I’m around your age but apparently im too old for the biobloc benefits of moving your jaws forward. I’ve close to fixing this problem anyways, so Im in the process for getting expansion only with the biobloc stage 1. I think since you’re 16 though, you’re young enough to get the benefit of moving the jaws along with expansion. Biobloc manipulates your palate so that you don’t necessarily have to close the gaps that MSE makes. MSE splits the suture, which is why I personally avoided it. I would opt for manipulating what’s already there (shallow palate->broad flat) through expanding with the stage 1 biobloc. If you’re interested, go the IAFGG website and find an orthotropist near you. Costs will be expensive, in my case $5500, but better than retractive fixed appliances such as braces, herbs, rubber bands, that will recess your maxilla and cause clockwise rotation of the maxilla to advance the mandible further forward. In my opinion, that’s not worth it, I would want forward growth of both jaws (biobloc). Braces and fixed appliances hide these effects through the very projected mandible, they don’t change the relationship of the bones in the face themselves, so therefore it caused a lot of downgrowth and recession, angling your teeth for ideal bite for a projected mandible, so overall, your face becomes even more recessed generally with braces. Whatever you do, don’t do braces. Also, it’s important that you keep proper lip seal, tongue against roof of palate, and relaxed cheeks, if you want any gains from the biobloc or belt pulling, but I don’t think belt pulling is necessary if you do get to move the jaws forward with the biobloc.
