My orthodontist wants to install me twin blocks to correct my class 2 malocclusion. He says that I literally have my jaw too far back towards my ear, but that with twin blocks it would advance my lower jaw by reshaping the cartilage of the joint .

Someone would have an opinion on this, I see a lot of people who just have a movement of the teeth in the alveolar bone but no advancement of the jaw...
 
make sure it doesn't collapse on 9/11

It will hurt your aesthetic appearance and your TMJs

He is wrong and probably an ignorant, he prefers to lie to himself.

and the worst thing is that all those damages will make posterior surgery more difficult, risky and will never be able to correct the damage done by the twin blocks

Thank you for your reply.
But I will need more detail, so if I understand correctly, he have reason that it is possible in my case to advance the jaw by reshaping the cartilage? and not just an alveolar advancement?
Now where would the aesthetic damage be, if this is the case the angle of the jaw would be more prominent because advanced and therefore more aesthetic, right?
And why would it make posterior surgery more difficult, risky?
I don't understand ...
 
Take your time to search for information, consult with a jaw surgeon, and then you will understand...

I have already warned you and I don’t feel like spending one minute in a futile discussion that will report me nothing, because it looks like you want to believe him.
