What do you guys think of doing Walrus' facepulling method with a Myobrace Trainer? I have an A3 Trainer.

Would simply biting down onto a thick towel and pulling upward and away work?

Hi ppl! I want to try facepulling but I have dental crowns of upper infront teeth. Is there anyway not to break dental crowns by pulling? I really wanna try this method. Good idea with mouthgourd.   :)

Hey i've tried the mouth guard technique but I cant seem to get a good fit on my top jaw and when I try to pull it only pulls at my front teeth, so biting down on the mouth guard and pulling was only way. The force started bucking my front teeth out. Ive bought some more mouth guards to try again.

@Bloom
I Tried something similar with a belt and this actually repressed my upper jaw and my cheekbones!. The force has to be outwards and forwards only. Pushing upwards will compress your upper jaw and zygo area back

The facepulling of bringing the maxilla forwards seems extremely unlikely, the guys that did it must have had NCR to allow the bones to be more malleable

The 'belt' method does work slightly if the forces are pulled up and outwards as opposed to just up, all a headgear does is just that, pulls slightly upwards and outwards which is how u pull on the belt ie upwards and pull outwards away from your face, this does work so much better with NCR either by a practitioner or yourself if you know what your doing and what to feel for etc, reason being as the cranial plates are more susceptible to being moved and shifted, note your cheekbones will shift along with your entire skull from NCR alone and mewing because upwards and outwards is where your maxilla ideally needs to be for optimal air intake and NCR helps correct that position regardless of facepulling.

UPDATE: Face pulling and belt method
Ive spoken to a few people recently including a young fellow who has had negative experiences with belt pulling. When your biting down and pulling from the rear molars or wisdom teeth (if you do still have them). The force applied would compress your maxilla only from the rear which would swing the lower jaw upwards at the back not the front! Essentially this is making the gonial angle worse and actually rotates your lower jaw in a more unfavourable position making your lower third shorter. It would increase your jaw angle not shorten it. This maybe ok if your a woman but not so good if your a man. your lower jaw will 100% become narrower. Ever since I have done this ive noticed my orbitals have sunk and have been repressed. Again this is caused by upward force at the back of the maxilla it makes complete logical sense as to why it compresses your cheekbone area. I found this site though my own vanity and became set to improve my facial appearance despite being normal except for a slightly long midface, weak chin and mild crowding of teeth. I guess I paid the price and I fully deserve it. Would welcome any others opinions, experiences and advice on the matter. Im now looking into NCR to reverse the damage.

I have some opposing points of view for your consideration:

- Bones are malleable, but they're not that malleable. Maxilla is still one bone, and by pulling it to any direction pulls the whole maxilla in that direction.

- I'm finding it hard to see your logical sense in how upward force would repress your orbitals. If anything, moving the maxilla and zygos higher and forward should give the whole eye are more support, unless you've been pulling towards the back of your head (which would be quite difficult in the first place).

- Mewing with posterior tongue gives constant force to similar direction than facepulling, and it nearly never makes facial characteristics worse

Unless you took good before and afters, I'm pretty convinced that you're just experiencing placebo, because from personal experience I know how easily it can happen. The way I perceive myself in the mirror fluctuates from day to day, and other factors like amount of sleep, water retention, exercise and diet significantly influence daily appearance.

Personally, I've been beltpulling mainly forward, since as a kid I had a nocturnal appliance that pulled my upper jaw backwards towards the neck. I've seen some improvement in overbite, but most dramatic differences have started coming from correct head/body posture and strong mewing throughout the day.

It also helps to keep your lower jaw as relaxed as possible when belt pulling. You are able to anchor the belt to the upper back molars and the area behind it, "bite" down with the upper jaw by tilting head downwards. Then you should be able to just relax your face and pull forward.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of using the belt to pull. I feel it puts too much pressure on too few teeth. If you are going to use a belt though, I recommend biting down on the back bicuspid and FRONT molar, rather than the back molar (I heard Dr. Belfor, of homeoblock, explicitly recommend this in an interview). Our back molar isn't really designed for chewing on food, its function is somewhat similar to wisdom teeth in that they help take space in the jaw, not chew on food.

Personally, I've experienced teeth pain from using the belt method. Betterbytheday's theory kind of makes sense, and just to be cautious, it probably would be a good idea to spend some time biting down with some of the more anterior teeth to get a better balance.

FWIW, I think I've had the best experience using the mouthpiece method and second to that the towel.

NCR has provided the most benefits I believe, but I think the benefits are diminishing.

Mewing is beneficial as it provides gentle stimulation for bone growth I can accept that. However belt pulling in my personal experience is damaging. My jaw is just not the same as it was and has gone from a squarish shape to more of a V. Pushing up on the rear of the maxilla with heavy force is going to compress your upper molars into the maxilla (along with the clicking and cracking sounds). Its not recreating new bone or pulling the maxilla forward. it is literally compressing your teeth into your upper jaw. What will end up happening is the upper jaw will be slanted upwards at the back and your lower jaw will follow subsequently to be also higher at the back.

As for the cheekbone area being repressed I cant explain but my cheekbones are definitely not more prominent they're more flat and further in my face and my eye area has suffered. my eyes feel more out of my head and when I smile I feel like the wrinkles around my eyes are more deeper. Its quite hard to take in cause I knew I looked slightly worse after a week but I just kept with it and it got worse and worse. Ill upload some pics for you guys.

PICS
This is after 1month. And again a guy I spoken to has seen the exact same changes as me. Shorter narrower lower third and more bloated midface.

Couldn't upload as attachments so:

Interesting.

I tried to match the photos on PS, and they seem to have been taken from slightly different angles vertically (the after photo being from a less flattering angle). It certainly looks like your face was better in the before photo, but whether this is just the result of the before picture showing your face from a slightly lower angle and height, it's hard to say. But I believe your word.

What kind of cracking are you experience by the way? When I mew my sinus area tends to make an audible pop every now and that feels relieving, kind of like some mucus or tissue gave up somewhere deep in my nose. I never experienced any cracking or pain near the gum area when pulling though (i never pulled as much up as I did forwards). It actually sounds quite scary to be honest.

I have taken many pics from many different angles and I cannot recreate the angularity in the first pic. In every pic I honestly just look worse. When Belt pulling upwards at the rear molars you'll hear cracks or clicks as in the teeth are compressing into the upper jaw this is the joints being compressed. During this time I was chewing falim gum so in essence my jaw should be wider  ??? Now I look back chewing along with upwards force at the rear molars is just making the compression stronger. My cheekbones have become repressed making my eyes look gormless. Again the most depressing thing for me is I look worse and feel worse (my jaw just feels like its in my throat, feel slighty tired and light headed all the time). I just know my jaw has got longer and further down and back. And I have symptoms of my upper jaw being further back but I cant understand logically how why it is but I just know it is.

I feel I need to come here to release my frustration, family and friends think i'm obviously insane. I mean who IRL gives a **** if there cheekbones are receded slightly and the face and jaw has become longer. But to someone like me who was already insecure it really is a kick in the balls. I would be content If I got my old face back.

And I dont know how you guys cope with this. I think I'm honestly mental I just had a reality check and just thought to myself wtf am I doing. Researching hours on these forums, biting into belts and cutting my fingers trying to put shoelaces through mouth-gaurds, obsessed with looking in the mirror constantly to see if my jaw angle has changed, buying tonnes of turkish chewing gum and chewing hard foods. Thinking people are constantly judging me on my facial structure. **** it go and live your life stop obsessing over this you Just cant win, you'll just destroy yourself physically and mentally.

Its not worth messing with if your normal
