What Do You Guys Think of This Headgear Concept?

from r/Dentistry


I found this AMA on Reddit from this dude who made his maxillary protraction device and tested it on monkeys.  Significant results were found after 4 months, after 1kg of applied force on the maxilla.  What if we simply strengthened the tongue to exert 1kg and the muscles of mastication to exert 1 kg, to replicate the effects of this headgear?

That you're young enough to just use proper tongue posture and force to get your ideal results without a device.

But other than that, sure. It pulls up and forward. Don't go to quickly too soon and stop for a long break if you ever feel pain
