Thumb pulling

[iblamemandible7]

Started thumb pulling a few days ago (19m) but read some threads on here and everyone’s calling it cope and it doesn’t work. My question is why would it not work in theory? If a palate expander works why can’t you manually do it yourself. You’d obviously be applying pressure for way less time on your palette but you’d be applying far more force when doing it. If I do full force thumb pulling every hour for 3-5 min is that not enough pressure to actually expand the palate and lead to forward growth? (Doing both lateral and frontal pulling)

If thumbpulling worked then the retarded faggots that swear by it would have gaps in their teeth and would need braces to correct it, no 5 minutes a day of pressure isnt gonna remodel your maxilla its just gonna go back immediately after jfl

What do you mean with if done correctly would you only do it lateraly or also forward and what makes you so sure that it works

By done correctly i mean consistently and pushing in all directions but only on the soft palate. The reason for which it works is mechanotransduction and the reasons for which MSE works. Our facial sutures are malleable.

but will I get teeth gaps after successfully managing to widen the palate with thumbpulling?
