In conjunction. When the jaws move, ocklussion probably will be affected which may lead to malocclusion. Having someone who oversees your progress and who works with expansion and such while using the Crane (or w/e) would probably be a better and more safe approach. I messed my occlusion up by doing expansion myself at first. Led to DDS and malocclusion de luxe.

You don't want to use standard for a number of reasons. I have Damon and they seem to be working great though If i had to do it again I think i would go for ALF. Remember talk to your ortho and make sure hes on board with what your doing or else they might do things that impede your progress. I would also take a look at this site http://claimingpower.com/. Great site lots of new info on all these subjects we talk about here. Much luck to you mate.

Also no one i know of has heard of face-pulling with your thumbs being dangerous. You just don't want to pull too hard and fatigue your face otherwise you will lose much progress. Spread your face-pulling sessions out if you feel your face fatiguing early.

 I am 19 years old. i have a cross-bite, with spaces between my teeth. My teeth are small. Should I have braces? Should I use something like Damon braces or would standard be fine? I have also been face-pulling (with my thumbs) for 6 days. Is this dangerous? Should I have the work done before I attempt something like this?
