Complexx, please read people's posts before making assumptions. I'm seeing lots of results from the palate expander, however not from the face pulling
with that same expander. The topic of the post is mainly face pulling, correct?
Let's just make sure we're on the same page here. There's transverse expansion and sagittal. Most Schwarz appliances are transverse/lateral, as is mine. Face pulling is dealing with sagittal expansion.
I actually don't think DNA and Schwarz are all that different! (Aside from the sagittal screw which can be added to a Schwarz.) This is just an opinion however, but I believe what this doctor is saying:
http://dangblog.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/skeptical-inquiry-epigenetic-orthodontics-part-2/It was nice to see a picture of this DNA appliance. What you have recieved on the upper is nothing more than a standard upper active plate with a “triple screw” and a bunch of Rube Goldbergess finger springs to push your front teeth forward. [...] I am currently looking at a picture of this appliance in a book published in 1966 and written by a dentist named Schwarz. Your upper appliance is a combination of a Schwarz plate and a Sagittal Plate. Similar constructs were being used in the 1800′s.
I don't agree with the other things he's claiming.
But we might want to be open to the idea that the thing that differs the most is the protocol (Schwarz - wear all the time, DNA - wear at night).
Anyway, that's a bit OT.
