Thumb pulling FAQ

[joewillock28]

My maxilla’s extremely recessed, have trouble nasal breathing, if I start thumb pulling is there any concern for my front teeth splitting and me developing a tooth gap? Also any other exercises to help with a bad maxilla?

Depends how old u are, I’m pretty sure that’s only if the whole palate is split after the sutures are closed, u should get braces after anyway

and Hexum is the actor, u mean hexumlite

Worked for me when I was 16, but if it’s actually an issue get surgery or go to ortho for it. It would give better results anyway
