Tons of excitement about this in the upper echelons of airway/ortho land...  Thoughts?

From a lay person's perspective... seems pretty awesome initially.  I cannot tell if they also do RPE.  See something about turning .25 mm which sounds like RPE.  If there is no pressure applied to anchored teeth... my concern would be how to drop palate?  Physics would seem that pushing the maxilla sutchers alone may not bring down a tall arch as much as a combined approach.  That's my initial lay perspective.  DNA and even braces can bring down an arched palate to a degree.  That's why the acrylic gets shaved down with DNA.  You just can't go fast, of course, with adults.
