Good morning!
I’m half East Asian and have an extremely recessed/flat maxilla. It seriously looks like I got hit in the face with a frying pan and had my nose and lips pasted on afterwards (FML 😂)
It’s seriously depressing and my side profile is nothing id wish on my worst enemy. Not only that but my hyoid is also very low, so when I have correct tongue posture it somehow looks even worse than when im not doing anything at all
I’m turning 16 soon, is there anything I can realistically do besides surgery right now? Braces, chin tucks, anything? If not im getting le fort or djs once im an adult

If your maxilla is narrow get marpe and reverse pull face mask for your jaw get a Twin Block appliance
