Many years ago I had braces, but they orthodontist gave me a permanent retainer that looks like this. Will this affect thumbpulling in a bad way? As in, will it withhold the splitting/loosening of the maxillary sutures or is it not that significant?
yes it also leaches heavy metals into your gut and overall body, get it removed
Removing the retainer will have the best ROI. It is limiting maxillary expansion by holding the suture.
@john ou shi never thoguht of that. I've had braces for one year. Will also get checked soon to nose experts, to fix my nose problems etc. I damaged my nose in a fight + my maxilla is narrow/palate. How do I maximise my chances aka telling every problem I have with breathing (I actually have, but I wanna overdrive and exaggerate them to a point that the doctors must give me MARPE/MASPE (I think MARPE is ok, correct me but I already have braces for 1 year. I have severe sleep apnea sicne I fractured my nose (i have a deviated septum but the doctors said I already had it since it was healed.
I do also have other issues like I get tired fast when I exert myself through training because of less Co2 uptake. And my left nose nostri lis severly blocked
any help or advice would be appreciated
