Info question for people with experience thumbpulling

[Michelangelo]

i can clearly feel space being created where the suture is, but mostly only in the canines and premolars zone and not so much near the back of the palate where the molars are.

thoughts?

stop wasting your time
You need constant stress on the palate to expand it thumbpulling everyday isn’t helping

thats why im mewing tho, plus there isnt enough info and data about this

you need high amounts of stress on the palate for it to actually expand
And even then you need something to keep it in its place until the gap closes
and mewing doesn’t help that much either

seems like the gap is getting bigger day after day for now, i guess i will leave an update if i keep doing this.

Orthodontist fucked up, i might have to get some more work done in the future and i might get something like SARPE if i can

false tbh

But thumbpulling doesnt work either way

false tbh

But thumbpulling doesnt work either way

How is it false?
You need huge amounts of stress to expand the palate and it has to be consistent you can’t just do it for a couple of minutes a day and expect to see results

true but the force of thumbpulling is enough to generate force to widen ur palate, palate expander also tbh works the same it doesnt generate force 24/7, but thumbpulling doesnt work anyways and could be dangerous

could be dangerous

If it doesn't work its not dangerous

a palate expander keeps the palate in place after expanding so your body releases new bone tissue instead of you palate going back to its original state so it kind of is generating force 24/7

thumbpulling and mewing isnt gonna expand ur palate just get a palate expander
