Hi Quartz,

It sounds interesting what you're proposing!  Can you explain in more detail what the problem is with pulling the teeth? It's not that I do not believe it, but that I want to understand it . I looked up the word tipping since English is not my first language, and it is described as moving it ..Is that what you  mean by it? From what I was thinking is, that facepulling with a defined brace disalows the body to widen or change the placement or location of the teeth if it wants to. But other than that I do not know about it . Is that what you were thinking too? I've love to hear more, so if you have theories how this works or should work, i'd love to know them and i'd like to brainstorm about it.

Do you have a picture of such a device ? (the one ortho's use on such more  deformed people)

I would also like to make such a thing or try it out, to see if it is more effective than regular face pulling (or a different type of effect)

So let me know what you know about it, and i'll investigate this topic too!

Greets,

Ryan

The problem with Plato's facepulling idea is that it touches the teeth, this will tip them more than move the bone. How do I make one that pulls the palate without touching teeth?

You can get one by paying an orthodontist to make one, but I'm trying to make one because I can't convince my orthodontist to do it for me because my teeth are perfect and my face is average, he would only do it if I had a clear deformity.
