DS_Slash,
Just as you had in the first place (i read your topic post about it) I'm having a hard time with the retainer part
Something I do not understand yet:
- The website from plato showed such a retainer with a part in the middel that could be expanded. It says this is not needed and then shows an item that seems to be a fixed shape palstic item (called mouthguard) that also should work for face pulling. THe thing i do not understand is how your palate can become wider, if you have a retainer (mouthguard) that is a fixed plastic shape. Then as soon as your palate will widen from the face pulling, it stops fitting , I would say? Could you fill me in about this
Should it look like this this

http://jawpain-tmjtreatment.com/images/modified-palate-expander-1.jpg- You suggested I would find a dental lab for this. Could you tell me the lab that you used, so I know they can make me something like this? Did you suggest to make it extra strong in that certain area that plato's site suggests? Did you tell me what you made it for?
Thanks alot!
Ryan
PS: I find it very intruiging also the body and mind are connected. I suffer from bowel issues, and I've been aware of this for a long time, as my mood goes up and down based on bowel function, so to say. If i ate something I had a hard time digesting, I would notice to get the emotion of nervousness over me . I think also the somatypes (ectomorph/mesomorph/endomorph) theorie is related to this..and the shapes of faces and personalies..very interesting. It would be cool to make a topic just about that!
I would greatly appreciate your help!
