Break the Matrix

Hmmm actually I think that you are part right/part wrong.

 I did perform NCR procedure few times on myself and it is true that it can be dangerous - baloon can slip and it can have terrible consequences. I don't do this anymore because of this fear but I also know that I am losing an opportunity of a really well-working therapy - I am from Poland and I can't afford going to UK regulary to take sessions of NCR so I didn't even start because I know i won't have money. But sometimes my life is so miserable that I think that I would risk it to improve...

As far as face-pulling is concerned - I think that it can only be dangerous if you pull REALLY TOO HARD. It is virtually impossible to hurt yourself if you follow Plato's instruction - which clearly states: pull lightly. Although I am not sure whether face-pulling works without NCR and that's a shame

In my opinion the best thing to do when someone had extraction orthodontics performed and suffers from its implications is regaining spaces and putting there those missing teeth. It can help tremendously and I am striving for it - to persuade my ortho to do this (so far he is only treating my retracted mandible - deep bite with quite good effects on TMJ but only on it).

Hello everyone, I am Kate from Poland - the one from Platos website (I am the one who used that plastic device with wires) . I will write here about my experiences soon - but unfortunaltely I am not cured and still struggle with much identical problems that you guys do/did (depression, braing fog, scoliosis, TMJ etc.). I am currently undergoing orthodontic therapy I seek to improve because despite being only one year in the process I already see that it will not be able to help me in a way I would imagine it to. I have small experience with face-pulling and self-NCR too and I will write about it soon. In the meantime I can give you the link to my blog - you can see the pictures of my current situation in there - unfortunately the blog is written in Polish - I am not very good in English anymore because for a long time I haven't used that language. So if anyone will be interested you can throw it to the google translator. My blog's name is: aliveagain.pl and all threads considering "aparat ortodontyczny" descibe my current situation and treatment. I am working a lot lately and I have very limited free time now, so please excuse me that I wrote such short post. I will tell you about my situation very soon.

All the best for all of you guys.
