Hello fellow looksmaxers.
During an autistic research about braces I stumbled on this article:
With as research:
Unfortunately I cant open the link and read the research. If anyone knows how to open pubmed, please share with me.
It's an old research done is 1976. 2 orthodontic cases are examined of a twin who had similiar problems. One got the traditional orthodontic treatment, where 2-6 tooth are extracted during the youth and with braces the teeths are pushed back together. The other one got an expander and afterwards the teeth are pushed together with braces.
Here are the results. It's interesting to see how the mouth area is way wider, but proportional to face ( see my autistic drawing done on phone). The nose also looks better on the expanded face.
The patient who had the teeth pulled got a long midface, while the expanded patient got better ratio's.
