Cranial Restructuring / Re: Options for someone with a recessed lower jaw/overbite
« on: July 27, 2014, 07:20:05 pm »
This is my question exactly (as my profile picture indicates...unfortunately...). However, I thought the exact opposite. It seems like the best solution for that is the face pulling because it swings the maxilla forward, bringing the mandible with it.
From what I understand (and I could be wrong!!)...The homeoblock expands the face horizontally through widening the palate but I didn't think it does much for moving the lower jaw FORWARD. My orthotropic dentist who trained under Dr. Hang (Face Focused) says only jaw surgery would move it FORWARD as a 27yo adult, but I think it's just because he's unaware of face pulling (FaceMax, Plato, The Crane).
Could someone who is better versed and/or has experience confirm or deny?
