How to make the most out of FM?

[Need2Ascend]

My suture split has split from MSE, now I obviously try to wear the FM as long as possible, but besides that, how can I make sure to get the fastest gains?

I desperately need 3-4mm's to bring my maxilla into the "normal" position, want to avoid Bimax at any cost since it would be a quite low risk-reward ratio for such little forward/downward growth I need

just wear it as much as you can with the highest force you can tolerate

Congratulations on splitting the suture! I'm using the facemask for as many hours per day as possible, with as much tension as tolerable, at an angle slightly down from the occlusal plane to encourage separation along the perimaxillary sutures. I'm also considering alternating expansion and contraction for a few weeks after completing the initial expansion.
