ABC seems very interesting! So what is this type of treatment? Massage, Chiropractor-like adjustments, balloon therapy or...?

How much does one session cost you?

Unfortunately I'm in Europe but I might move soon.

I found this article which reminded me of face-pulling. Though I'm not sure they acquire the same process. The man who wrote this had his upper palate moved back through braces as a kid. He, then, had his bad orthodontics corrected by pushing the upper palate forward by elastics years after and said his face changed for the better with elastics.

How's these?   Different expressions, angle of camera, and different photo effects to highlight cheeks and face.

Mostly NCR, but some facial pulling (with my fingers).

Hi Messiahmews, you look amazing. How many minutes are you doing the face-pulling with fingers daily? and how many weeks did you notice the difference?

Thank you.

I only do 5 minutes at a time.  If my face gets sore, then I will skip when I feel the need to.  Probably around the second month after starting.  When I do NCR, I don't pull and I wait it out until it's okay, which is a month or more.   Also, a month later or more, I start back up with ABC adjustments/corrections.

It's okay, if it takes a tad longer with me, because I'm probably older than everyone else here.  I'm 56 years already, so I take things slower.

If my face does not sore, does that mean Im doing the wrong way? I was doing finger face- pulling but I did not feel any soreness after though.

You're probably doing it okay.   My skull has had NCR for over a year now, and it's unlocked and more movable, I think.  I could be possibly pulling too hard.

Hello beautiful people! Just a quick question. Do you guys think I should face-pull with my permanent, bonded retainers still on the back of my teeth (upper 4 and lower 6)?

My face pulling experience has been extremely spiritual . . .
Vanity caused me to get braces, which changed my entire facial structure for the worse (obviously. I'm beginning to think that in most cases, braces are a BAD idea, especially in children, much less the extraction nightmare kids are put through!!).
I prayed to God for a solution. I hadn't been very faithful recently. I was lead astray from my beliefs . . . Except I still had a flicker of hope. I knew something had to give . . .
So when I prayed to God, I hadn't expected a solution right away. I expected Him to send me to more doctors, having to wait around even MORE while I suffered in my gloomy ugliness. But as I read forums about people complaining about my exact problem, somebody mentioned "face pulling" and "break the matrix." Break the what???!! Funny thing is, I'd been on the aforementioned forum before, and never noticed it. Sort of like how I never noticed in Breaking Bad how the joint Jesse's parents threw him out of the house for belonged to his BROTHER until I watched that episode again. It was just such a big plot point, a big twist, but I'd either never noticed or forgotten completely about, for whatever reason. Buuuut anyway . . .
But once I Google'd "face pulling" and found Plato's site, I knew I had a solution!! I couldn't even believe it!! I'm 12 days into it, and I already look different. I was preeeeeetty ugly before, so I'm still ugly, but I'm less ugly and soon enough I'll be gorgeous again, as I used to be.  :D
I face-pull and listen to a Christian station on Pandora. Afterward I feel completely amazing. I know with absolute certainty that God sent me this site and solution. "Seek and ye shall find," indeed.
It's kind of difficult to wait for the end product. This is true. But what would you rather -- spend thousands of dollars on expensive braces that are on for two years that only reverse the extraction spaces and don't make your profile much different? Or a cheap-as-balls, infinitely healthier, natural way to fix all your physical, psychological, and, in my case, spiritual problems???
I choose the latter, personally.  8)

Shinealight:

It's good to hear that you are feeling better. However, I'd just like to point out that it's not that easy to say what works for everyone. For some people, the cranial distortions and a retruded maxilla/premaxilla is the problem and that can be fixed with pulling/moving forward (head traumas and such as an example). Other people need sagittal movement through expansion to widen the arches.

I'm not trying to bash your story and I'm happy that the home treatment is enough for you. I just want to chime in for others reading the forum. I've noticed that a large amount of people are fixated on apperance and forward growth and compare NCR, facepulling and functional orthodontia with eachother. As I see it, they are not the same and they do somewhat the same things but each of them have a main function.

Some people like Ben, need to get the cranial bones straightened and NCR does this. Including some forward movement. Face pulling helps more with forward movement. If the dental arches are to narrow for the tongue to find it's resting place, then an applience or even some types of braces will help open the space needed for the tongue.


Mostly it's a combination of treatments depending on each persons needs. I'm an avid advocate for NCR since I've noticed it's benefits on my posture and facial structure but the ALF has done more for my breathing and tongue space whilst face pulling really brought my cheekbones forward. I've also seen some people getting wider dentaö arches from only NCR but it's not a coincidence that Dr.Howell works with (if I'm correct and he still does) Dr.Belfor.

Just wanted to point out this common missconception that the treatmets are better or worse. They don't do exactly the same things. Same, same but different so to speak. :)

I have been face-pulling for twelve consecutive days, and the results which I have achieved are very encouraging. Just as promised, my entire facial bone structure is being drawn into a more optimal configuration. My cheekbones have just come in, which has contributed to a more oval shape, which I am still stunned to witness in the mirror. My jawline has changed considerably, although I cannot report having any sensation of the bones shifting. Whereas my jaw previously appeared elongated and uncomfortable, it is beginning to resemble the balanced jawlines of attractive people that I have seen in public.

I am grateful that I did not undergo any sort of cosmetic surgery while I was obssesing about it, or I would not have the opportunity to see my face in its Creation-bestowed design. It is so difficult to quantify the changes, but I encourage anybody who is curious to try it! You will love the results!

I have attached a picture of my face, in an attempt to illustrate the changes. The lighting is different because I have recently moved out of my parents' home and I photographed the 'After' image in front of a near-infrared sauna that I purchased on-line. I am not certain that my face is tilted to the same angle; however, I have attempted to line up my eyebrows, in order to illustrate the overall changes in a simplified and accurate manner. I sense that the eyebrows act as a good anchor for comparison.

You will notice that I am not smiling in the second image. This is because, for the first time, I feel like I am able to look attractive without forcing a smile onto my face! In the past, I always wore a very slight smile because it provided a slight facelift to my severely flat face and absent cheekbones. If I stopped smiling, my face fell down and I looked like a skeleton... Now I can wear my neutral expression with without fear of looking emaciated! My face does look narrower in the 'After' image, yet I believe this can be contributed more so to the lighting.

Of particular note is the change in the shadow of my brow as it hangs over the bridge of my nose. This is the feature which I have always been the most intensely unsettled by, as subconsciously I feel that it relates to the emaciated appearance of a skeleton. Notice that in the 'After' image, the shadow appears a little shorter, which would seem to indicate that my nose is being brought out gradually to smooth out this harsh angle. This is one of the most exciting breakthroughs for me, as I have always coveted this feature. Although there is no depth to be perceived in a 2D image, this is also a signifier that my face is coming outward.

Just read your post. very interesting.
one question was your issues related to extractions?

Okay...so I have been face pulling for a little less than 4 months now.  It's not as life changing or amazing as the other users are making it out to be, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.  All I use are two paper clips and two thin rubber bands (well, a rubber band and a hair tie now).  I do it while watching TV.  I don't feel anything until (sometimes) after I take the two clips off my braces (the feeling NEVER hurts).  Then I take a picture for documentation purposes.  Now, taking in account of all the different angles, I have noticed a slight (and by slight I mean slight!) shift forward.  Being somewhat pessimistic I could dismiss this for wishful thinking, BUT my TMJ is gone.  Whenever I would yawn or open my mouth wide open my left jaw would always pop -- now it doesn't. 

So there, that's all I have but I hope it was helpful.  The disappearance of the TMJ has motivated me to keep continuing.  I noticed an effect within 3 months, so definitely hang in there and be patient.  I may still have a weak chin but I hope it will grow considerably stronger by the end of the year.

That's great, and a real relief from me.

Maybe I went a bit extreme in the negative in my OP, after going so extremely in the positive.

You don't know how frightened I was about my old threads, that might've encouraged some folks to do some real damage to themselves.

Hopefully now folks will forget about my dumb overzealous over-positivity, and stick with the sensible advice.
