I dont know what have you heard about braces, if he puts the right elastics you'll be fine. Braces are something good tbh, just be careful w the elastics he puts you on.

My ortho said i dont need elastics and i wont have them. Is it good or bad?

I mean the elastics is what actually does the biomechanical tension to move the bones so... if your ortho said you didn't need them It would be good if you asked him why tho

Either way you'll be fine
 
They told me i dont need extractions but im jus worried that would recces me somehow
I got 4 teeth removed and braces for one year - didn't recess me but I'm not sure if it's different for different people, but done properly and you should be fine

I asked him why i dont need them and he said that braces will fix things in my case. Should i ask him for them or will I be better off without them?

Hmm... it really depends, but I feel like you'll be better without the elastics probably.
