Hello everyone, I was thinking of a method to push my jaw forward, and I thought that getting used to holding the jaw forward, after a while the mandibular condyles will adapt to the new position and fix the jaw forward.
Is such a thing possible?
I don't think so. Look at underbite patients. Their mandible is forward but their maxilla never catches up despite the mandible being ahead of it.
Besides the maxilla is where you want the change since that is what determines the position of the mandible. *If* your theory pans out the mandible would change but the maxilla would sit behind it and you wouldn't be able to maintain your teeth together anymore.

My was a hope more than a theory. In any case, I was referring only to subjects with an overbite, and I wondered what is holding the jaw back.
