Guys does somebody know this.

Many studies say that our craniofacial structure changes even in adulthood.

U can see this in overweight people who hit the gym so hard they get more prominent features but like from the bone not cause of lost bf.

I had 4 premolars and my wisdom teeth extracted ( yes i know horrible but i got nice teeth at least and don’t have tooo much damage in terms of maxilla and forward growth. I have retainers tho.

Now it may be placebo but I‘ll still take it. I see some results of thumbpulling and mewing. Thing is retainers will block any possible or really slow down/block most of the results right?

So should I take them out if my teeth shift I‘ll just get them back or get invisalign😂
But should I do it?
 
Teeth shift = wider palate and more forward growth

i unfortunately had braces for 4.5 years during childhood (no extractions). i subconsciously developed mouthbreathing habits, which led to poor sleep and moderate-severe ibs out of nowhere. i haven't undone all of the damage, but my symptoms only improved once they stopped advancing the wire since i didn't wear elastics. it improved even more after removing the braces, with zero changes in diet. i never wore my retainer afterward.

Salludon never wore his retainers but he did have some permanent retainers glued. If you think you can expect results from orthotropics, then ditch the retainer since your arches will end up changing anyway.

I do have glued ones tho, I think they are stopping me from achieving my max.
