Palate expanding diy

[v8sandweights]

I remember 2 years ago when thumb pulling was the new wave and everyone was promoting it, i believed in the theory but believed that your thumbs couldnt provide enough consistent and strong mechanical tension to work how it was 'advertised'

So what i did instead was got a pair of scissors, wrapped the ends of blades in hella tape so its soft, and then positioned the tip of blades where you thumbpull from and would just pull the scissors open hella hard and hold it like that. This way, with the pivot of the scissors the 'moment' as described in physics would be much much greater with much less force needed so u can hold it for longer. And i DID feel like my sutures loosening, or idfk what it was but if i ran my tongue along the roof of my mouth id feel like a line where the suture is like a crack idfk.

I stopped doing it cause it was just effort but now that im on hgh ill be doing it due to the igf1 signalling and also believe it can work if done enough throughout the day and for long enough.

Thoughts?

yeah and palate expanders exist too what? the point is doing it at home vs spending thousands on surgical intervention

who the hell would pick this aspie looking device over a palate expander anyways

how are you gonna get foward growth with a palate expander? the facemask you only need braces and can put it on and off yourself

no one mentioned forward growth brah this is clearly talking about lateral expansion. i dont need forward growth i have plenty, and most people thumpul for a wider palate and not necessarily forward growth cause itd be minimal anyways

could work in theory depending on suture maturity. you wouldn't actually want to split the suture but stimulate it throughout the day, likely every 1-2 hours to get meaningful results. I personally saw a .4mm IMW increase from thumb pulling after 60 days, however I am getting a palate expander because it has a better roi.

Not sure, I haven't booked my consultation yet but I think $12-$15k

Yes. I need to straighten my teeth anyways, I might also get a little bit deducted by my insurance.
