Break the Matrix

please pm me as well.  thank you

I was wondering if I posted my pics on here if anyone would be willing to give me there opinion if I could use the modified stretching.  Or maybe I don't need it and instead should stick with the Active expander.

Would anyone be willing to give their assessment?  I can either post on here or PM

Is the modified stretching plate t he same as the active plate but with just a few more screw if you need them?

Or is the functionality different?

I'm under the impression it's the same with more function, but maybe if you don't need need the extra screws you can just use the middle standard screw and use it just like the active plate?

I figure it's better to pay a little more money and have more function if you need it as opposed to need more and having to buy another device.

Does this sound right?  I might not use the "extra" screws, but if I need them I might.

Thanks

So with forward expansion that would give you more of a square jaw?

How would you know when to adjust the forward screws?

So I was wondering if anyone here can shed light on the different types of expanders listed or why certain ones may be better for certain malocclusions.

There is the basic one and then there's a few others with a different amount of screws.

I'm just wondering if extra screws are necessary and if if they could help more with cranial asymmetry?

Also is it possible to expand while doing NCR?  Would you Leave the expander in while getting it done and then adjust it after?

I'm sorry I asked a question that already has a lot of posts about.

I am in the situation where I highly believe i have been living life with an undiagnosed developmental delay/learning disability.

I can see the assymetry in my face and the kind of weird shape.  In addition I have had postural and coordination problems my entire life.

Now for about 8 years I have had a tweaked back and I can't find a comfortable sleeping position which has thrown everything out of whack.  Not being able to sleep has screwed with my head much.

I have tried alot of therapies and I have to say that none actually made any improvement and none of them actually gave me an intuitive sense that it was for me.

Endonasal balloons and expanding the palate with a device actually make sense.

I really hope that I am overthinking this as a result of my brain chemistry/structure and that maybe expanding my palate increases some blood and oxygen flow and starts to change my perception of my reality and the way I feel.

I honestly believe that it is possible.  And I don't believe in diagnoses. 

Hi everyone I'm new here and was wondering what are difference between the two besides the method.

I mean are they targeting the same type of expansion or different?  How would you know which one is more beneficial?

Also how effective is using your thumbs to push on your upper palate?  Does that count as a version of Face pulling?

I am planning on getting cranial facial release (another similar to NCR/endonasal) and was wondering if a palatal expansion device
 would complement it.

I am new here please be patient with me, and I appreciate all your help.  I'm really tired btw.  I have chronic insomnia for years.
Thanks
