I came across this research paper that was interesting ... in which they treated a patient that had a class III skeletal malocclusion, but the patient did not want to do jaw surgery. So they devised an appliance-centered approach (they called it a "tongue appliance") for this individual, and seem to have corrected the problem. The report even includes ceph traces.
But what's kind of interesting to note is the mid-treatment photograph - man, those teeth definitely seem to be flared/tilted outwards. And yet, by the end they seem to get them back in-line presumably via traditional orthodontics (which of course might cause some root resorption).
Thoughts? Are we all worrying a bit too much about tipping/flaring of teeth - if something like this mid-treatment can be brought back in-line? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3700158/
Flaring self corrects in my experience. When you’re eating, and your bite closes, you exert force on your teeth which uprights them.
My wisdom teeth have not grow in so my second molars are flared out. I believe this is because my upper palate is too narrow (33mm inter molar width), which causes the tongue to touch and flare out the rear most teeth when properly mewing with the posterior third up. Im getting a palate expander from braces shop, in hopes to expand and get enough space for tongue so that when mewing the tongue does not touch the teeth. After expansion i believe and hope that the flared teeth would naturally straighten out due to the force of the cheeks pushing it back inwards.
