Today I made the mistake to look too much at my reflection in the mirror and I noticed my awful long midface.
So, I popped a pill of armodafinil and started brainstorming about nonsurgical ways to make my midface more compact.
I already built an appliance to displace my maxilla forward/upward. Its limitation is that it leaves the task of following the displacement of the maxilla to the other bones of the face.
This means that some bones could react later than expected, or to a lesser degree than other surrounding bones of the face, to the new position of the maxilla.
This also creates a situation where the stronger is the force applied, the quicker are the results, but also the bigger is the initial "imbalance" with the other bones.
In simple words, imagine this process as a race between your facial bones with a finish line. Your maxilla is the only one aware of this race, the other bones are all lazy fuckers sleeping all day and start "running" only when they see their brother maxilla way ahead of them. And if you apply even heavier forces on the maxilla, he's going to sprint like Usain Bolt and leave all the others behind, giving you that Duffy Duck look.
New orthodontic appliance
Here comes into play my new appliance. Not only you can apply higher forces on the maxilla without worrying about leaving your jaw behind, but you can also make that midface compact like it was supposed to be.
Basically you add to your intraoral appliance a metal (or sturdy plastic) plate under your chin. This plate is connected with a belt that will be tied behind your neck to keep the plate in place. This plate, in theory, will cause a more dramatic and quicker CCW rotation of your entire face.
The plate also has the benefit to keep your mouth shut, especially if you're facepulling while sleeping and you worry your mouth opens due to the pulling force.
Below you can see a quick sketch of how the appliance works. I'm currently searching for the right building materials to put together. As soon as I'll get it assembled, I'll post the pictures here.
P.s. Keep in mind these are theories never tested before. In these situations, you can never be sure if you're gonna succeed or fail. I only know that the body can change with the right physical forces. I'm gonna test it and report here.
