If there is no tooth, implant, graft, whatever, you'll experience resorption. This wouldn't occur, however, if your ortho moves the back teeth (7s/8s) forward and it should look the same as before. I don't know what your ortho did to you; he could've diddled you in the clinic for all I know, so you need to specify.

Bone resorption would've occurred by now.

If you want braces, you tell your ortho you want braces. Simple.

No. If you didn't notice resorption, your ortho did what I assumed he would have.

tbh i dont notice anything but its been a year maybe my ortho can move my back teeth forward and that promotes bone growth

Sir, that isn't how it works, but you don't seem to have lost bone in the first place so don't worry.
