Theory says incisors make midface shorter and molars make midface longer so I'd assume it isn't too efficient for altering midface length, I do know chewing with premolars is good for growth of side of zygos and obviously can make jaw stronger

I saw somewhere that chewing with the premolars breaks the sutures of the maxilla and makes ccw rotation

Incisor chewing does this but better, but you could still get same results with premolars but keep in mind chewing is 80% cope especially if you are over 16

I've been doing this, and I've already achieved good growth of the zygomaticus in 3/4

How long have you been doing it and how much gum? Is two pieces of mastic gum fine, alternating between left and right premolars?
