Break the Matrix

Hey buddy!, if you are not feeling anything at all while facepulling you should check your tools.

Also, as ryan said above, changes are really difficult to see in pictures.

I've been facepulling for 5 months now, when I started I wasn't feeling anything, just like you, I thought that it was normal because a few guys here and there said that they weren't feeling anything as well, so I kept pulling it that way for almost 2 months. Nevertheless I was getting changes, really slight changes but hey it was at least working! I didn't lose my time and money buying that hockey mask! .

But, one day. The day that changed my life... That day my rubber bands broke and slapped me on the face. Damn dude I was using very thin bands, they also get streched over time and apply even less pressure, so well I bought new bands with more thick! and hell!! I began to feel the **** pressure that people talks about! and a bit of relief ( Just a bit, it's not something powerful like Plato said ) or maybe it is but I dont feel it yet. NCR may make a difference

So that's why I ask

Are you using a hockey mask? or which method are you using?

Using proper rubber bands? We should assign a # of rubber band that could work fine with everyone. The ones im using are still thin, I tried with really thick bands and they pulled my braces out, lol... I dont know which # of rubber band im using right now and cant get to identify the # that plato used. I will buy #64 and try those, I think that something between #27-#32 should work fine, as you see i'm still trying to get it right after 5 months, I hope to be a help and make it even faster for everyone else

Good clips? Weak clips get expanded with ease

Are you pulling with braces? I got braces put on so I dont really know about pulling with an appliance, in my opinion it could work less

Remember to don't exaggerate on pulling force, it may lead to damage. Hear your own body. 

I will update my results after I try several # of rubbers bands, sorry if I'm not being fully understandable, English is not my native language. You can ask me anything if you like

Yes, the method I am using is the hockey mask (same exact bolts and helmet Plato used). I do not have braces, but have a custom retainer with hooks behind the eye teeth. I am using a size #32 rubberband attached to paperclips. Since I wasn't feeling anything I doubled up on rubber bands on each side, might be bad move. At first I was clenching my jaw when doing it, but realized it resists most of the force/ So I just let my mandible hang now. After my 3rd day doing it, all of a sudden I understand how much pressure the tongue can really put on the maxilla. I honestly thought all the people on the forum talking about tongue posture were exaggerating a ton. Today, I pushed hard with my tongue on my maxilla, which for some reason couldn't do. Felt decent pressure on the back of neck. I think I am judging face pulling to quick, I will update in a couple weeks or something like that.

Hmmm, can you take a new photo without all the different lighting and/or filters?
