depends on if you are using elastics, appliances, etc
this is a very vague question braces are very case-dependant

I have the traditional metal braces one both sets of teeth

not happening, even if you have extra gear and stuff. Maybe your maxilla, but not mandible, sorry

Damn so the only answer is hardmaxxing like jaw surgery?

its actually the opposite, braces are way more likely to advance the mandible if anything because it doesnt solidify until late teens and remains malleable for way longer than the maxilla does

braces???????????????

not braces in itself, but orthodontic work so braces combined with a bunch of other things (appliances, elastics, etc)

Without the bit of age solidifying the maxilla first, isn’t it more popular to get an mse expander in orthopedic procedures than any other sort of gear? Not really counting bands, as that does nothing for either. And an mse expander would improve the maxilla rather than the mandible, because it’s on the top, right?

mse isnt usually given to adolescents and has a very fail rate to anyone above the age of like 16. the maxilla significantly slows down in growth at around age 8-12 and is completely done at around 14-17 depending on gender (and even then its really only mm of growth) in terms of mandibular growth, it can stop being malleable at anywhere between 16-21 which gives you a way bigger window to preform any type of orthodontic work.

herbst appliance, class II elastics (which elastics do work contrary to your belief, but only for minor cases and are very case-dependant since they rely on user-wear) are all very significant in terms of mandibular advancement. expanders and headgear can work in terms of the maxilla it just really depends on the person and their age. mandibular advancement cases are pretty much always easier.
