Today I finally got my infra-oral appliance ready.
It is my opinion that mewing after 18yo is pure cope. Your tongue is just too weak to give you visible results in months. And thumb-pulling is an impractical method. Bonesmashing is just a mean meme.
This appliance will work because there's no pressure applied to the teeth. Its specific shape allows me to close and clench my mouth thus allowing the lower third to follow organically the maxilla expansion. This means that not only my maxilla will be pushed forward and upward, but that my jaw will follow it, drastically improving its gonial angle and the Ramus length.
There's no surgery that can give you this type of bone remodeling without giving you that "odd look" typical of surgeries. If needed this infra-oral appliance can be "upgraded" into a palate expander.
Let me know if you want me to post the instructions, step by step, of how I built this appliance and the face-pulling device that will apply the upward and forward forces to my maxilla. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, ask below.
