"While I can appreciate that much of what you say regarding beauty is true, your solutions leave much to be desired. Here is some information for you. My husband is an oral surgeon so he is very educated on the topic. Interestingly, Tad therapy is available now for shortening of the midface. It is cutting-edge as patients would usually need maxillary impaction surgery to shorten the midface. Now, steel posts called TADS are attached inside the mouth in the gum area above the teeth, strong rubber bands are attached and the teeth are pulled upward as the bone resorbs. It is truly amazing because it is much less invasive than having jaw surgery. As the teeth go up, the midface shortens but inevitably the patient then needs a liplift. If you are interested, I can send you a scientific study with pictures that show the results.
"For those of you interested in TAD therapy for vertical maxillary excess, I have listed several links. I am sorry for taking so long but I just visited this site again. I am receiving TAD therapy from Dr. Howard Henry in Scottsdale, AZ. He has move my teeth, jaw and alveolar process back at least 3 mm. Now, he is moving my teeth up. This is truly amazing and it works"
And this was one of the links. It looks like they usually do this for patients with severe issues and before surgery,but obviously this link shows its effectiveness without surgery. Interesting that she still looks good without all her teeth as she has had extractions before surgery; perhaps it's not about having all your teeth, it's more about when the face is a certain height and then you take away some of the teeth, the face kind of crumples in on itself. This method has made sure her face has come forward (making it look shorter, wider and better) rather than the face developing down as the spaces close.
I wonder if this method would work on people without extractions? It just seems like a more scientific version of facepulling to me, with the affect being 24/7 and inside the mouth instead of outside. And how would Mike Mew react if you went to him asking for it; he seems to be one of few who is open to trying to methods and is testing methods currently. No doubt he would be impressed with the before and afters.
