       widening before pulling forward

       I asked an ALF practitioner about the ALF/Crane treatment and he
       said that the alf appliance needs to make things wider before
       pulling the maxilla forward with the crane. He said pulling
       maxilla forward without making the arches wider will have it's
       own set of problems. I didn't ask what kind of problems he meant
       at the time but now i'm wondering what kind of problems he is
       referring to. What kind of problems can there be?
       I wonder if its just the alf protocol? (with widening first with
       the standard alf and then doing braces or a diff appliance to
       for the crane) or if all face pulling methods need to be done in
       same fashion. Widen first and then pull forward? Can't it be
       done at the same time? You'd would assume so right? since
       plato's website says you should use the palatal expander with
       your helmet.
