I have a slight overbite and malocclusion from thumb sucking as a kid. And it makes my jaw look worse, if I get braces will it move my lower jaw forward or recess my maxilla?

I try to move it forward now that people noticed I have an overbite on here, it’s slightDo you already move it by your self?
Well I think if you see no difference when you do it then that’s your answer, my overbite is mild and there’s a big difference from when I do self correct and don’t.I try to move it forward now that people noticed I have an overbite on here, it’s slight
Depends on how I move it. If I have my teeth together and press lower against upper it looks a little better but if I open my mouth on the inside it looks betterWell I think if you see no difference when you do it then that’s your answer, my overbite is mild and there’s a big difference from when I do self correct and don’t.

Ok not necessarily but it will pull upper teeth back and it’ll recessed maxilla if it’s grpwingThat

im 20.5 will elastics recess a jaw at 40? my mom got some last yearAbsolutely not. Never get braces, especially elastics, to treat an overbite or overjet. If you just want to straighten your teeth via braces, make sure to avoid elastics. Increasing resting masseter and pterygoid muscle tone may help in moving your mandible forward, if you're young enough
