Designing a functional facepuller is very challenging, uncomfortable, and takes a long time for change (6-18 months), I have been looking into getting MSE with a modified appliance to FP with, but now that i look into it, it seems that MSE still emulates tooth borne anchoring, instead of bone borne even though MSE is installed into the bone.
Look where the anchoring is where you would attach elastics to, it is not on the MSE implant itsself, but instead onto the tooth which the MSE implant wraps around, when pulling on the hook, the force would be pushing the tooth ridge through the alveolar bone (which also manifests in skeletal movement due to the weak sutures), but the forward force applies would not be going directly to the sutures like we would ideally want. Thinking about it applying forces directly to the MSE implant would do nothing more than bend the screws inside of the maxilla and scar the bone as too much force would be concentrated on such little bone. This isnt to say MSE + FPing isnt good, it will still yield the best results due to the suture disruption, but it is far from ideal considering it is considered tooth borne, as even greater results could be accomplished with MSE + bone anchored facepulling
thumb pulling may now be the holy grail of MSE, as regular tooth anchored facepulling can give still give insane results, extreme thumbpulling would give massive forces to the already extremely receptive sutures resulting in very fast and very drastic changes
