yeah probably but not significantly
Herbst appliance works way better
 
they’ve already put me on bands tho (ive had no extraction)
a herbst appliance is generally like class II elastics, but it's metal and fixed in place, so it applies force 24/7 and doesn't rely on the patient remembering to wear it.

elastics can be less reliable because they depend entirely on how consistently the patient wears them, so if they aren't worn as instructed, treatment can be less effective.
They also arent as affective in older patients because the jaw is less malleable
 
yeah i had bands for a little bit theyre a pain in the butt but they do their thing just be consistent with them
