Look into ncr and face pulling with a removable palate expander. This is what seems to be the current trend. Lurk the forum see what you can find. I'd recommend getting a myobrace if you're not as serious. Tongue posture and chewing/jaw exercise is hella important. It may seem weird at first, but after six months, personally I've noticed the benefits and it's become very habitual. Good luck!

Hello Everyone!

I'm new to facial re-structuring, but would love some experiences and feedback.

After what I've gathered, it seems we all know the mewing tongue posturing is important no matter what... what I'm curious about is if it alone can achieve results... my goals are:

1) move maxilla upwards, for entire jawline
2) create better mid-face - I lack cheekbones, heavy eye sockets...
3) facial symmetry - which I think is due to my chewing only on right side after braces and extractions

I'd love to know if pushing the tongue up and forward (is that right lol) can be as good as appliances. I do have an appointment this month to see someone that does Orthotropics, but financially I can't afford it...

But being too DIY besides what my own tongue, mastic chewing, and swallowing can do isn't something I feel great about.

Love any feedback, because as my username suggests, I've got one of the most vertical and melted faces I've EVER seen. It's good to know I wasn't crazy growing up - things went wrong. Let's make it right! Thanks everybody 😉
