@mewem143 How have you come to this conclusion? I compared his face between the two videos, and can't identify any differences that couldn't just be...

I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting to hear that type of music on a video about a maxillary skeletal expander, haha. Anyway, there will always be a sm...

@robbie343 Yes, I have teeth in light contact during the day, most of the time. It feels most comfortable, and it's difficult for me to maintain a s...

Just a thought: 8 hours of mewing during sleep is not equivalent to 8 hours of mewing during the day. While using the expander, I have observed that m...

@sean I see. But I'm still surprised that your dentist believes that the bone loss is permanent, and that recovery is unlikely. Perhaps he's used to...

@loliboly This happened to me early on. My soft palate got used to it pretty quickly, though.

@sinned I'd be very interested in seeing your photos as well. I have two questions, if you don't mind: 1. Have you achieved palatal expansion ex...

@toomer I wonder how this mechanism of growth at the suture looks, visually. Over the course of using a removable palate expander (Schwartz), a redd...

@sean Wouldn't the body eventually adjust and start strengthening the bone in response? I can see how excessive and sudden chewing after a lifelong ...

The fact that all of these photos have similar angle discrepancies between the before-after makes me highly suspicious. Photo 1: The before is taken...

@notfunnydidntlaugh Since part of the expansion is due to teeth movement, and another part due to palatal expansion, I expect that I'll only maintai...

@notfunnydidntlaugh In my experience, the lower dental arch did not follow the expansion of the upper dental arch when using the expander. The two a...

@auxiliarus Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were replying to my older post from May. In that case, thanks for the info. @notfunnydidntlaugh ...

I don't disbelieve you, but I don't understand why gum chewing, if at excessive rates, would cause significant bone loss. I mean, what's the mechanism...

@ayla-mao The separation line that appeared on your maxillary suture looks very similar to the line that recently appeared on my palate, after I sta...

@cheekbones1983 Hey, I just posted an update about regarding my experience with a palate expander. I thought that I'd let you know in case you'd lik...

@auxiliarus I doubt a "chubby" face truly exists, babies get born with 15% body-fat, which is pretty fit and yet they have very chubby cheeks. I t...

Expander Update I have started using the Schwartz expander from Braces Shop, about two and a half months ago (to be clear, this is the devic...

@progress Maybe, but it's possible that he just doesn't know how to promote the course effectively.

@progress Thank you. From what I understand, his intention was to sell the course as a package of everything that he was doing in order to achiev...

Update 1: The thread exploring the differences between the masseter and the temporal pattern motivated me to adjust my chewing habits. I used to pri...

@eternally12 Could the crooked nose have been caused by an injury? A minor birth defect unrelated to the general issue of CFD?

@auxiliarus Same thing here. I suspect it's because skin tends to be a little more puffy immediately after sleep, although there may be other factor...

That's very interesting and encouraging. My suture split on the very first day of wearing the expander, so now there's a dark line on my upper pal...

@progress His head is rotated downwards in the first picture, obscuring the jawline, whereas in the second picture he's keeping his head up. I could...

@azrael It's worth mentioning that some people may just have flat cheekbones naturally, regardless of whether they have CFD or not. I don't know how...

@stillfatthough Thanks for your response. Regarding question #3, I hope that my proclined incisors will naturally retrocline a bit as my dental ar...

Regarding the psychological effects of hard-mewing, I can say that it tends to result in me becoming tired - both, mentally and physically - much quic...

@violetgrey6 I'm struggling with something similar too. My mandible should be positioned more forward, but when I jut it, my teeth align at the inci...

It doesn't make sense to me for a person to constantly push on the palate. You may push when you swallow (push-swallow), but pushing 24 / 7 is just im...

I have no sources to back this up, but my guess is that they're made either from completely safe materials or materials that aren't entirely safe, but...

@stillfatthought Nice, thanks for posting these. While it's difficult to assess your progress with certainty based on these photos, your face does a...

I don't have an answer to your question, but have you observed a whitish or light-pink line appear along your mid-palatal suture, during the expansion...

@slinky If it's any consolation, I haven't seen any substantial results for the first 1.5 years. I started seeing improvements in my cheekbones, mas...

I don't really have an answer for you, but I have a similar problem on my upper arch: my 2nd molars (last, in my case) have moved apart and made some ...

Very niche joke 👍

Have you had any sort of gap there before? I mean, did an existing gap just widen, or did this gap form in a region where there used to be no gap at a...

@fungodpl Going temporalis made me think that my front teeth would tip forward and increase the deficit in chin. Just curious: are your front ...

At face value, you seem more masculine in the second set of pictures. However, this could easily be the effect of the angle and lighting. All I can sa...

@eddiemoney Yes, I think I understand what you're saying. I know that you advocate for using all teeth while chewing. I'm guessing that you also b...

@azrael Interesting. I am glad I mouth-taped from day one. Why didn't you do the same? How long have you been mewing for? I found taping to be...

Like Azrael, I'm assuming that you meant 40mm. How are you measuring? Between which molars (first, second, third)?

When I started mewing, I couldn't do it at all during sleep. I would sleep with my mouth open, and frequently wake up with drool on my pillow. This co...

I discovered that when I bite backwards, along the temporal axis and then jut my mandible, and bite forward, along the masseter axis, I hear cracks th...

@azrael I don't think her face looks long. I think that's an illusion created by the fact that she lacks good forward growth.

@eddiemoney I'm in a similar boat to @harrykanemaxilla : I'm skinny (in fact, on the threshold of being a little underweight), and my face looks sim...

@harrykanemaxilla Same. In order to touch my canines with my tongue, I have to push my tongue forward, so that its tip touches the edge of my inciso...

@pajomas Don't go into this with a hot-headed mindset; be patient. The speed with which you expand is crucial, as I understand, so make sure to rese...

When you say "stretching", do you mean that your masseters feel tense? Or, is it a different sensation? Do you clench your teeth when at rest?

@robbie343 Congratulations on your improvement. It's very encouraging. I'm intrigued by the PEMF device especially. Have you noticed your progress...

Update: I just received the package now.

@uwu You mean extra time other than what I would have to wait normally? Maybe, maybe not. I think it takes around a 2 months at the earliest t...

@eddiemoney You mentioned that your IMW hasn't increased as much as you thought it had. Have you measured how much exactly it changed?

I think they're still operational despite corona virus. It can take a long time to receive the expander, though, so at least be prepared to wait a goo...

@odys I fail to see the connection that you're trying to make between morality, language and facial development. I see a link between morality and l...

@auxiliarus Yeah if I do this I do have a jawline, but it's obviously unnatural as [Rude Language or Insults are not tolerated]? If you employ...

@greensmoothies Thank you for this information. I will look into it. There are others using a pEMF to help mewing? I'm in communication with jus...

I think that @sergio-oms is here. Chewing gum may be good practice if you've got sufficient development for it, but if your mandible is too far back, ...

@maxiller You've mentioned that since becoming more mindful of walking, you rarely experience knee aches anymore. In my case, adding squatting to my...
