I saw walruses shoe lace device it was nifty and creative, but to myself, I feel like even though it may be giving the impression that lots of progress is occurring, that eventually that progress may come to a halt and lack a solid "base" if that makes sense, because your pulling the face out harder & faster than the body can respond (idk if hes updated his method but the last time I checked he was pulling quite hard) . Which now makes sense as to why diet is so important especially the magnesium and the K2 for the bone growth, which I talked to Kevin (worked side by side with Dr howell for some time and one of first to use facepulling mask) and it actually can and does occur. Take a look at these posts from the fellow Kevin here. He got ahead of himself and was pulling more than necessary and progress halted. He then ended up having to wait 6 months for his body to catch up. The blog has tons of info on facial remodeling.

From what I understand you must pull light enough so you don't feel your body resisting but using enough force so you actually feel something but no real major discomfort.
Also ive never been to worried about the retainer breaking I've never heard of anyone's breaking so maybe that's why. I for some odd reason have faith in those ity bity heavy steel wires probably because of the name ;).
As for specifics on results I've been experiencing my smile verrrryyy slightly leveling where as before it wasn't so much. I also think (notice the word think not know) my cheekbones are coming out, but its so damn hard to tell even with before and after pictures haha. I've also noticed my face widening around my eyes which I accredit to Ben's self treatment protocol (thank you man so much for all your successful efforts and this site) and Dr. Koichi Miyashita, NCR practioner and Acupuncturist who I highly recommend to anyone living near San Francisco area in search of a NCR man or Acupuncture.
In all honesty Gaia I think to really achieve the results you and I are looking for and anyone else out there, were going to need these 3 things as almost a must have, those being 1. NCR 2.Facepulling 3. Some sort of palate expanding device that works with the skull without brutally forcing it to do anything (ALF, Homeoblock, Damon, or DNA,). The ones that have combined those three were the ones I've seen with the most insane progress but also sort of needed all three to unlock everything in their bodies. Another thing is, some people really don't need one or the other so that may also be why you may hear "Well I didn't need a palate expanding anything Connor and my face turned out great!". Which is awesome and that may have been all they needed since their problems were different then lets say "Fred's" over here who not only needed the three listed above but also someone to fix his neck and spine issues because they were impeding any further progress for him. Im not sure if this all makes sense but hopefully you get drift and can share along.
Finishing up this post...I honestly wouldn't know about your slanted inward teeth but sure as hell would not be surprised if facepulling combined with the others, fixes it eventually. Especially once you figure out your own unique "protocol" so to say, that we all must find. Have faith my friend!
And back to T.V. shows...How I met your mother is a good one I haven't seen to many but the ones I have seen are pretty dang funny. I've been watching Palladia music station and the live performances on there mostly. They have some great shows and live covers on there if your really into your music ;D
