Every force has an equal opposite reaction. The elastic hooks from your upper teeth to your lower jaw, so while it pulls your mandible forward it's pulling your maxilla backward with the same force. You're not getting free lower jaw advancement, you're paying for it with upper jaw recession. That's why braces can't truly advance both, they just redistribute where the recession goes.
So it would make me anti recessed?
Class II elastics pull your lower jaw forward by pulling your upper teeth back. You're not getting dual advancement from braces, it's always a trade off, they recess one to fix the other. If you're worried about maxillary recession from the elastics you're right to be, that's literally what they do. Talk to your ortho about whether MSE or surgical advancement is an option instead of just compensating with elastics. Braces alone can't advance both jaws.

I bite on my back teeth, they added these blue things and I bite on them all the time
because its using ur maxilla as an anchor, essentially both ur jaws are meeting in the middle
So should I just take them off and not use them

no like class 2 class 3, overbite underbite
its a trade off ur not getting ur bottom jaw moved forward then, talk to ur orthodontist about a different treatment method
I tried talking to them about a MSE but they said nah, I even made up that I had breathing problems and all this stuff, I also went to 3 different orthodontists about it
they all said no? thats crazy gen malpractice.

Yea, I don’t really know what to do, also do you think if I just didn’t use rubber bands it could cause recession or something’s wrong in my jaw anyway? Bc it was only on one side of my mouth
hes one of the most helpful people on org lol
Yeah im not complaining
Well I mean right now it is but, I feel like it might be unbalanced if i don’t do rubber bands idk i might just risk it
Stop the braces stop the rubberband you either accept that you need to wait for a surgery or different ortho or accept that you will bite well but get recessed in one way.
surgery is always an option if things don't go well. I'm gonna have to braces maxx soon and its so late for me i need jaw surgery thats been advised, dk if thats lucky or not but im gonna be spamming qns then lmao
I’ve had braces for 3 years and they said I only have one month left so I should just probably wait for that month and maybe when I move out and have a enough money I could keep trying for a MSEStop the braces stop the rubberband you either accept that you need to wait for a surgery or different ortho or accept that you will bite well but get recessed in one way.
