I'm 15 and got braces on in December--no tooth extractions or anything like that. I'm supposed to have them on for 21 months, followed by around 12 months of a retainer. I recently discovered mewing and want to improve my underdeveloped facial structure, but I've heard many people say that braces impede mewing's effects. Will I see minimal results while I have braces on? If this is the case, it's not even really worth it right now tbh.
Are you getting any benefits from braces? all they really do as far as I'm aware is tilt the teeth around. understand that braces fix a symptom and not the underlying cause which is not having a closed, natural lip seal. if they "fixed" your teeth alignment and you got rid of them without fixing your oral posture then you would simply revert back to having crooked teeth over time.
My intuitions tell me that braces would likely hinder mewing in some capacity but I don't know how much. if you think that they aren't really doing anything substantial then I would get rid of them

@krollic My parents wouldn't let me get rid of them because they already sunk €2 000 into it. They would tell me I'm crazy for mewing and that I have body obsession issues. I even just asked my mom and she got offended that I'd even ask something like that.
