@dawurkz I prefer to do the opposite, make the screen a little lower, so that I am basically semi chin tucking to look straight at the screen.
Any updates on this group? (like additions) Also what is this orthoscience website and how does it relate to orthotropics?
Interestingly enough I think it also comes from oral posture during sleep. We sleep from a range of 5-9 hours a day and if you add that up over a life…
@toomer Which is where MSE comes in I assume. Seems other appliances like DNA/ ALF/ Homeo all deal with the alveolar (which I think even invisalign co…
@darkindigo my left Condyle seems lower, what does this suggest?
@limebike don’t have a pre set goal but just to the point where I can fully fit my tongue. And no gaps have formed yet, just slight pain in my molars,…
@limebike hmph, was pretty sure that the gaps closed themselves, going from previous posts on the forum reasoning that gums are elastic so the gaps wo…
@limebike yeah, any tips on achieving that? My plans just to expand and see how far I can go w my tongue.
@limebike yea but not enough tong space, had braces 🙁
@limebike low 40s I believe, and I already shaved off all the parts that hit my oncisors since my only goal is lateral expansion
@limebike yeah check one of my previous posts
@sinned Not using portion of appliance that pushes forward, only laterally.
@fixingmyface just seeing this thread now, how have you progressed?
Updates? Have you made any further changes to your expander or routine?
Was the part you removed getting in between your teeth/ occlusion? Also how has the adjustment turned out?
Yeah no expansion regarding your palate, just moving your teeth along the out edges of the ridge which creates more space
@kilroy You’re right, I’ll most likely shave it off or something, similar to what TGW did:
Also have you gotten braces? I feel like braces have the potential to cause asymmetry by putting the teeth into straight but not favorable orientation…
Also here is a link to some guy on youtube I found who had decent progress from using the expander from braces shop Beginning: A few months in (y…
@kilroy Yeah you’re right, we cannot really expect the expander to split the suture, but instead to make enough space for us to split the suture using…
Please do not extract any teeth! If you can’t find an option now, then wait, you will find a way brother. Just don’t extract, make space to keep them,…
@gold25 Damn you are lucky. Where I live they charge $6,000+ for a homeoblock. Good luck with your treatment brother
I’m not completely sure on this topic, but just know I have the same situation as you. One side of my face is much narrower and seems dead compared to…
It seems your left 2nd molar is a bit tipped already. I’m thinking of removing the parts that hit my 2nd molars since I think expansion has more to do…
@kilroy did you get a y plate off braces shop? I got one and am thinking of shaving off the parts that hit my molars since they are already tipped. Se…
@mr_man you said you did hard mewing, what was your frequency/ schedule for using the expander and mewing?
@entelechy hey I am interested in discussing about expansion and treatment options with you, if you have the time. You seem like a very knowledgeable …
