Break the Matrix

When I start face pulling, I want to monitor my progress. How can I measure the advance of my maxilla?

I'm thinking I want to measure from my top front teeth all the way to the back of my head. How can I do that accurately?

Thanks.

Is there a reason to why you feel the need to measure your progress in mm? I've noticed a lot of people are using exact measurements for anticipated progress and such but I don't understand why. I go by how I feel, how my teeth meet and how much room my tongue has. I may be completly wrong but I see the face pulling progress as a really really slow one where gradual and small changes occur over time.

Knoppe,

I anticipate the benefits to accurately measuring my progress would be:

• To remove any subjective measurement or placebo effect by not relying on how it feels. I won't have to wonder if it just seems better or really is better.
• By tracking the changes over time, I can know how fast things are moving and then predict how long it will take to get it where I want. I could predict where I should be in a month, or a year.
• When I make changes (more time per day or stronger rubber bands, for example) I can know what difference it makes and whether I need to make more changes.
• To know if progress has stopped and I have hit a wall for some reason.
• After I'm all done facepulling, to know if things are holding constant, or if or how fast things are reverting back to where they were.

Thanks.

ma6 did you get a helmet yet for facepulling?

Not yet. I'm talking to some orthos, and then I will decide what path to take.
