theres so much fearmongering around braces your not going to become recessed because of braces unless your ortho is a complete dumbass also if you have an overbite your gonna be doing the opposite of becoming recessed you should be able to get more forward growth if your ortho is smart
How can u get forward growth with braces if u have an overbite, my friend has one and hes getting braces soon snd im tryna help him
you need added appliances such as herbst appliance, bite blockers, etc. although there is some fear mongering with some appliance such as herbst appliant with it recessing the maxilla because it puts added force onto the upper molars and pushes them back but it does not recess the maxilla (it does stop the maxilla from forward growing while the appliance is on though, the appliance itself is only on for about 2-5 months depending on your overbite so nothing to worry about) to clarify most of these appliances are only going to help with jaw recession and forward growth not midface but herbst appliance literally pulls the lower jaw forward eliminating recession
Alr and it actually is my friend who has it and i told him no extractions, also should he get bite blockers on molars? And he might need rubber bands are those bad
if the bands are misplaced they can cause recession, the bite blockers mostly only help with teeth alignment
Alr anyth else i should tell him also for some weird reason hes going to portugal to get them done so he wont be able to see orthodontist frequently at all
hm weird, probably to get them cheaper, does he have jaw recession
yeah i think so and yes
tell him to ask about herbst appliance
Will do thx
