If you're a zoomer younger than 16 DO NOT GET BRACES. Hell, even fight your parents to not get that shit. If i could go back in time, ill fucking burn down my house if i had to just to not step foot in that orthodontist office to get braces and 4 teeth extracted.
I was at the dentist today and had a conversation with her about maxillary development, and she confirmed my worst suspicions. Ive had a lingering suspicion for a while now consisting of how having teeth extractions and braces at a developing age can cause a recessed upper and lower jaw, it can even cause a narrow pallet if placed incorrectly. I have a recessed maxilla and ive always wondered why i got a pancake face for years. All this unfortunately was true in my case and my dentist confirmed it in the worst way possible. This is what she told me:
"Im sure having a beautiful smile is more important than a flatter midface or maxilla, many of my patients have a flat midface and are absolutely gorgeous! Its completely normal side effect of having braces, so I wouldn't worry too much if i were you."
I remembered every single word that came out of that bitch's mouth. Here i was like a fucking retard thinking it was genetic, my parents and grandparents all have developed maxillas, i went back and looked at my pics of me standing next to them and my face looks so much fucking flatter than theirs, my sister is 2 years younger than me and has a chad maxilla bc she never got braces.
Honestly, i don't give a shit about a "beautiful smile" and much rather have crooked teeth than a flat ugly face. I never fucking smile much anyways. Anyways, heres other people who have also had this issue:

Can braces make the maxilla fall back?
Answer (1 of 2): Having your teeth moved orthodontically can change the shape of a person's face. This is normal because the dentist is correcting the way that the teeth fit together. Usually the braces will make the face look more normal. Some orthodontic procedures also address skeletal problem...
