So I've seen several different posts about thumbpulling and some of them say it will help, and others say it will descend you.
In some threads I see people that have done it and show actual progress that looks good to me, and the process of it is very simple, so there seems to be no downsides.
However some people say it can give you an overbite which makes sense if you're pulling forward, but shouldn't you just pull outward or to the side instead? Now this makes more sense unless somehow it could still give you an overbite, but then I did see another one talking about how It could lead to a wide nose and something else about less hollow cheeks. and how you would have to be doing it all the time or for multiple hours per day to see any results.
now if this is the case then should I just not do it at all? Or could I get an expander from the orthodontics. My nose is already super small like most people I know comment on it so if it would lead to a wider nose i guess that could be a good thing unless i need a longer one and not wider which is more likely because it's just like a little button on my face. Anyways please let me know because everywhere I see get different answers, I will not be posting any pictures of my face.
