Can retractive orthodontics be reversed now that I am an adult?

February 24, 2019
Asked By:8a85s29iM in Los Angeles, CA

From 14-18 years old, I had retractive orthodontics that pulled my maxilla and lower jaw back and stunted my growth. Is this reversible now that I am an adult (20 years old)? What are the best ways to reverse this and bring the maxilla forward to where it was supposed to be?
