Yea. and CP has all this controversy... along with using surgery so the results aren't all natural. I can't wait to see how this man develops on his journey!

Thanks for the reply, I've checked out his videos before and they're really informative; seems to be the only person not including CP who provides well documented before and after images.
Definitely agree that NCR and facepulling need more solid proof before it can be practiced as a normality such as braces, but now even Mike Mew is looking into facepulling and asking people to come forth with ideas. Exciting stuff!

From everything I'm reading, ALF has good outcomes for adults, and mewing. Other methods from people that work on adults like face pull devices work for extended hours are scarce from practicing professionals, or DIY with mixed, desputed results. The post I did about the guy in YouTube doing ALF with cross bands from his dentist did pull his maxilla forward and correct an underbite that "needed" a Lefort 1. I'm personally going to ask about this method, as it seems like crossband forces and ALF might be the key to "pulling" for long gentle periods without wearing a contraption that might be available. Check out his channel - his name is PJ Wilson...

I'd love to know too about any other methods that work, widely practiced, with good results and less controversy and lack of pictures like NRC and Face Pulling via belt and hockey mask... no offense if it works well, it just seems very experimental and can mess up things for this lacking experience or with complex issues... if there were more pics and detailed instructions without people getting surgery I'd love it!

So hopefully by this summer I will have saved enough money for professional help. Question is what is the best appliance?
I'm leaning towards the ALF as everyone who has had it said its effective (although there only a few). Then followed by Damon braces to straighten the teeth (as these cause further expansion). I have no previous extractions just TMJ on one side.
Bare in mind I also have a palate expander I ordered online that works so I can use that alongside the ALF possibly with the security of knowing if anything goes wrong I have a professional helping me.
