So when I was ten years old or so I had my number thirteen extracted. They put a spacer in that fell out. The space between 12 and 14 closed and 13 grew in "lingually" (I think that's what it would be called). Basically, it got crowded inward. This obstructed the space for my tongue to properly rest on the upper palate.
Somehow I have a class 3 underbite. I think I always kept the tip of my tongue downward. I have a feeling my upper palate is underdeveloped due to the lack of tongue pressure.
I'm 21 now and got my number 13 removed a year ago so now, I don't have a tooth "in the roof of my mouth" I'm just now realizing I should keep the tip of my tongue behind my upper teeth. Is it possible for my upper palate to grow with proper tongue pressure assuming that somehow the palatine process was halted and can be resumed?
