Thumbpulling: actual bone remodeling or just temporary swelling?

[russian grey]

I've been doing thumbpulling for a while now
- pressure on the palatal suture and maxilla,
forward and lateral. I keep seeing claims about
bone remodeling and suture expansion, but most
posts are just "trust the process" with no data.
What I'm looking for:
- Has anyone seen actual width/forward
projection changes after 6+ months?
-Is there any research on mechanical force and
palatal suture remodeling in teenagers?
-Or is this just temporary swelling that goes
away when you stop?
Not interested in cope. Just looking for real
experience or studies. If you have before/after
with measurements, drop them.

why tf would this ever cause swelling??? also theres no studies on thumbpulling although there probably is studies on facepulling orthadontic gear

Dnr never post again

Fair. By "swelling" I meant soft
tissue response, not edema.
But you're right - no studies
on thumbpulling itself. Do you
know if facemask/MSE results
are comparable to what people
claim for thumbpulling?just trying to figure out of the mechanism is the same or it's cope.
