Does this study prove thumbpulling works ?

[David186]

This is the study but I’m gonna summarize it down for you

Source : PMID : 12619937
So to summarize this study tested how mechanical stimuli affect facial suture growth in rabbits. Researchers applied gentle forces of 5 newtons to the upper jaw for 10 minutes a day over 12 days, using either constant (static) or rhythmic (cyclic) pressure. The cyclic mechanical stimuli caused the sutures to widen more, form more bone, and have more active cells than the static force. In short, repetitive mechanical loading for just 10 minutes a day significantly stimulated sutural growth and bone formation leading to maxillary expansion and growth.

So humans with open or still-developing craniofacial sutures, the same principle from the rabbit study could, in theory, apply. Repetitive mechanical stimuli like thumb pulling could stimulate bone growth for maxillary growth and expansion .

trouble is your face closes growth plates long before you discover this.

probably useful if you have kids and make them thumbpull(100% what i am going to do btw)

that gets undermined by the following:

consistency
same angle every single time
resorption, yes, resorption can occur with that and over time flatten out the bone, its essentially like water carving out a valley

I dont entirely get the last part either but i'd rather be safe than sorry

its sutures responsible for this, not growth plates, and the sutures still allow changes to be made (especially if u loosen them prior to doing it)

Consistency and angle isn’t a problem if you do it correctly, for resorption if your face is still developing, it would encourage bone growth so it’s not that big of a deal
