I heard some rumors about braces (with retainers after all is finished) stunt your growth and create deformities on your face as it grows but the mandible stays the same (due to the retainer)

Idk, I’ve had braces for the past 2 yrs and my mandible’s fine. It’s only an issue if u get elastics

Meaning braces cooked you

Im so cooked. Some old man (80+) said that from his experience, a third of cases braces mildly harm your looks, and a 20% or so it severely harms it.

they’re like rubber bands, and that ain’t good they retract ur mandible in order to fix ur bite
