Mandible going back doesn’t matter if you have an already long mandible (underbite) and also rubber bands don’t just pull your mandible back they can be used for all kinds of things don’t listen to people on a forum and go to a specialist (orthodonsit) that literally dedicates their life to this, they will have facial aesthetics in mind if you tell them so and they will plan a treatment for you and show x rays and plans you fucking idiot kill yourself

I heard you shouldn't get braces if you're already recessed, because it fucks up your recession even more
Is that true?

Braces work the same way: they pull teeth inward, straightening them

In theory, someone look better if there's real recession after teeth removal

If you haven't had teeth removed, it'll actually make things worse

What class rubber bands? I suggest you research the specific class you’ve been told and form your decision from there.

they are class 2

they are class 2

Class 2 elastics pull your upper jaw backward and your lower jaw forward.
