Looking back at this legendary thread, I got inspired to build the facemask.
For lazy dnrds: in a study where they used maxillary protractors on adult monkeys, they found that with high enough force, the maxilla still moves even at older ages.
Problem is: There are no progress updates from any of the users, it pulls forward and downwards and you look like a clown wearing this.
Now for the classic facemask, orthodontists should get beaten up for still using this archaic TMJ speedrun machine.
But then I came across this model:
This should theoretically work. It anchors on the zygos, applies parallel pulling force and is easy to sleep in.
I'm down to be the guinea pig for this since I'm 17.9 and recessed at about 3-5mm. Though I'm certain it works.
Let me hear some opinions.
