Hello, I'm still in puberty and developing. I have a very recessed maxilla and my infraorbitals make me suicidal. I currently have braces and now have triangle elastics, which go on the upper canine to the bottom 2 teeth. If you know anything besides surgery lmk. I wish I could get MSE but my orthodontist probably would've given me one by now.
 
theres nothing we can do...

braces recess you and block the growth of your maxilla and mandible
Can you explain how? During or also after? because i’ve looked this up before and jt says it does not recess you or block growth, with the exception of extractions and possibly extrusion.

You can't change the position of your maxilla (upper jaw) without surgery because it's a bone structure, and unlike teeth or soft tissue, bones can't be moved or reshaped non-surgically

(even tough it wasent the answer you wanted to hear can you press the up arrow on the rigth of the screen if this helped)

yes they can, MSE moves literal bone. Surgery might be the only option for forward or different maxillary angle though
 
What really? I had braces
look at r/orthotropics. Personally my maxilla went from forward grown to flat/recessedish tier in 2years of using the braces, fortunately i got them removed already at 12 so was able to fix that.

During them it blocks the growth of your maxilla and jaw both forwards and laterally. Braces for class 2 are the worst as they dont only block your maxillas growth but also pull it back and downwards
