So I recently visited my local orthodontist and she recommended I get an herbst appliance, as well as maybe braces. however I am not sure as I have heard that it could cause maxillary recession. For some more context I am 17 years old and have somewhat of an overbite as well as being quite recessed in both the mandible as well as the maxilla. My palate is also on the narrower side which is what I believe causes my breathing issues. I have attached some photos below and want to know if i should go throught with it and get an herbst appliance? Or is there something else orthodontically that I should look into to fix my recession? Pls help
