Hey, can anyone help me understand is thumb pulling cope or not? Technically bones can be moved as they aren't metal, but is there enough pressure to create a difference?

its cope
 
Extreme cope it basically does nothing, a mse or a palate expander is 24/7 while thumbpulling is done at a certain time of the day and can cause asymmetry. Get an MARPE if ur over 16 and if ur below get a palate expander
 
is jordan wood reputable or not since he pushes it

i agree with trying it for yourself but a month is too little time to see noticable results
 
If thumbpulling doesn’t work then so is mewing…to me thumpulling is more efficient than mewing it’s triple double the force…although I didn’t try it
mewing is lile correct tongue posture bru its entirely different things

Well mewing doesnt exactly work the way u think after puberty but during it does and way better then thumbpulling, mewing is just correct tongue posture,and ur supposed to mew 24/7, mewing encourages the maxilla to grow upwards and forwards DURING puberty
 
Whats the difference from MARPE and paate expander. Also i have free dental care but how do i explain it to my parents that i need one?
ur sutures are likely sealee so u should get a MARPE (mini screw assisted pallate expander) ask @Nbernical what to tell ur parents i think he had one im planning on getting one too

A traditional palate exander just pushes your teeth apart, which is mostly for little kids or early teens. MARPE uses bone screws to actually rip your whole upper jaw bone apart (skeletal expansion). This is what you need as an older teen/adult

If the orthodontist says u have crowding , crossbite , narrow palate or u have trouble breathing, u can get a palate expander, and u can also larp sleep apnea. (Give me solution if possible OP thx.)
