I'm thumbpulling to increase my inter molar width by pulling each side from the 1st molar area and by grabbing the deepest part of my mouth and pulling out to the side, I have already increased my IMW by 1.5mm in 1 month, I wanted to thumbpull as well from the cuspid region in order to move my front teeth but I'm afraid to create a gap between my central incisors as they look fine and don't look crowded, will pulling only from the back fix all my teeth or do I have to pull also from the front?
I never tried thumb pulling but those are good gains. Do you see any improvements in the face? How long have you been doing this for? Jw
there was a lady who did thumb pulling for her kid and I think in three(?) months she expanded her child’s palate and no longer needed devices like the ortho suggested
edit: I have a screenshot on my thread “mass upload of research” I believe it’s the second post with a pic of the girls mouth
I did thumbpulling for just over a month now and my upper intermolar width increased by 1 to 2mm it went from 42mm to around 43mm or 44mm. I did it by pulling from the intermolar area (my thumbs were aligned with my 2nd molars) I gripped as deep as I could in my upper dental arch and pulled for 30sec side ways as hard as I could only using both thumbs pulling from both sides. I would do 30sec as I felt that after 30secs I began losing strength and tiring so I rested for at least 2 minutes and I did another 30sec until it added up for 5 minutes for a day, I didn't really space it out I just did it anytime of the day as long as I got 5 min a day.
