Overbite

[noah.bx]

I’m currently using marpe and headgear, but i just thought abt smth. If my headgear pushes just my maxilla won’t i get an overbite? Also does headgear have any downsides facial wise? And if it actually gives overbite is it worth it?

Definetely unlikely
The max that studies show is 2-3mm in total and thats for early peripubertal children (treatment completed at 10-12 years)
Multiple mm not only outcompetes the total difference in other pubertal teens but would even be unusual for prepubertal patients if not after a therapy time of 1.5 years+

I have been using headgear unconsistently for 2+ years. I started using headgear when i was still a kid and didn’t even start puberty, i didn’t even have pubes. And now i’m in stage 2 of puberty with a bone age younger 2 gears than my actual age (14) i still have baby teeth
