It's been nearly a year. Has Mew mentioned anything else about this?

I'm doing a bunch of things - sagittal spaces are going really well, palate widening is f.slow and only really tipping the molars out (but creating space nonetheless), and wearing a Delaire faceframe at night. I am 99% sure these forces will not move my maxilla forward. It is only to prevent the molars moving backwards due to the sagittal opening screws.

No, I'd watch the entire video... he's using an appliance at night for a few adult patients. This is after one year and three months of that. He's still in his experimental stages with the device.

Is this all from keeping tongue on roof of your mouth and proper posture along with regular, daily gum chewing?

It is perhaps the hardest area to change once you're done growing. Posterior tongue and chewing may be able to effect it over time.

How does the orbital area change?

Merely pulling forward won't do much to change the orbital area of a maxilla that has already grown downwards. The orbitals are still relatively recessed, which is why the forward growth in the last picture seems almost excessive in contrast. Great improvement though.

That is is really interesting! Seems so much better. What about his cheekbones? It seems flat maybe? I'm still learning what to look for...

With the Delaire facemask, I think his concern is that the push comes from pressure on the chin and can be the wrong force. What have you thought about that? Did you pick it for a certain reason? Very curious!

OMG @ this Chimpancerda result:



Completely new person.

Nearly any normally born child can become very attractive, if only people had this knowledge.

Hey Michael Scott. This sounds very interesting. May you tell us more about your therapy and the person behind it?

I'm doing this now. First 6m I wore an upper 'bicuspid reopening' plate (YouTube 'William Hang Case for Reopening Spaces'). Now I'm in a palate expander for upper. For both plates, I have been wearing a Delaire facemask at night with elastics attached to the back molar clasp of the plate. This was to 'anchor' the molars while the bicuspid expander moved the incisors/canines forward, and now to apply general protraction forces.

I am super excited to see this... I recommend anyone to watch the whole lecture here where Mike Mew is happy to say he can change hard working adults: https://youtu.be/-pzL3ETuiKc

And it only took 1 year and 3 months - change in adults is confirmed, happening, and I hope is a spot of good light for those feeling blue. For myself, I'm mewing harder than ever until I can seek out an Orthotropics professional who can deliver these results 😊
