Facepulling Contraption

[jawalrus]

Gonna build this facepuller. I already have a removable palate expander which helped with narrow palate. OP of the above image showed results of him and one other guy along with xray scans and seems legit.

Basic concept is you have reverse pull headgear, but instead of pushing your mandible back it rests on your entire head. Also likely higher tension due to thicker bands and distance (if we treat it as a spring force then Force = spring constant * displacement)

maxillary development ends at age 18-20 in males:

Facial growth in males 16 to 20 years of age - PubMed

Postpubertal craniofacial skeletal and dental changes were examined from lateral cephalograms taken when subjects were 16, 18, and 20 years of age. The sample consisted of males with no previous orthodontic treatment who had Class I skeletal and dental characteristics. Mandibular growth was...

i had an xray done before and after palatal expansion a few months back, saw a little bit of growth. Hopefully all goes well.

rotation provided by the helmet should be fixed (i just have to buy the right size lmao) and force should be controlled fairly well as long as i use the same kinds of band
