Got brackets for deepbite
Got my top brackets put on today. Before we started I told my ortho I was worried braces would make my profile look worse/recessed. I said to her that many people end up with a more recessed maxilla than before. She told me it’s actually the opposite for me and the maxilla wouldnt be moved at all. She is going to move the upper teeth more to a forward angle so they dont sit too steep on my lower teeth.
My upper front teeth are too steep (retroclined), which makes my deep bite worse.
Her plan is to torque them forward a bit (proclination) so they’re in a more normal position. Doing this opens my bite slightly instead of closing it more.
But I always thought braces just pull teeth backwards and more together?
Anyone else here fix a deep bite starting with upper brackets like this? And do you think my profile will get worse.?
