I’m about to turn 17 and have no idea why my maxilla grew like this. I have always breathed through nose but now that I think about it I’ve always had the tendency to have my mouth open without realizing. Im still not sure whether I have a downward grown or recessed maxilla, but I’ve read that both can affect your ability to breathe properly. I also am not sure if I struggle with breathing or not since I’ve never known what it’s like to breathe the “proper” way but this all came to my attention after my mom asked me “why do you breathe so heavy”. Idk what could help me at this point besides surgery and I don’t even know what kind of surgery I would get. Just want some feedback and don’t mind the hair I just woke up during these pics.
