Reverse pull headgear
DIR By: MJON

I've started wearing reverse pull headgear with my palate
expander in a hope to bring my palate forward, but I'm feeling a
backwards force on the chin. I know on the page about face
pulling with a hockey helmet you have to push the helmet away
with your hand so it's just affecting the upper palate, but I
don't think it's practical to do that over long periods of time.
Any advice?

Yes, I've stopped using my reserve-pull headgear because it
pushes your jaw downwards. and using the hockey helmet is kind
of annoying. So I will wait until I can design something that
could hold my headgear from pushing my chin

I thought I was feeling negative effects from it, such a shame
as I thought I could fully start treatment! It feels okay when I
use my had to push it away so i guess I'll just have to face
pull for a small amount every day, but I won't expect great
results from that as I think it needs to be constant light
pulling. Have you got any ideas for your design improvement?

There's a thread on this site, where a few users tried a
mouthguard and a shoelace. They got a moldable mouthguard,
(think Amazon sells), punched holes in it to thread the shoelace
through, inserted over teeth, and proceeded to pull the laces
upwards/forwards with their hands. They posted a photo of it
on, 'What are people's face pulling experiences?' thread.
Looks like there's no force on the chin or forehead. But, I
wonder if having something over the teeth would mess up the
bite...Maybe if it's only done a few mins at a time, it's ok :-\

Yes, but I want something to wear at least 8 hours a day. I used
to pull with a mouthguard a long time ago and It didn't show
results in the first month so I stopped

Yeah, maybe a thing around my neck with a little rod to push
against the headgear
And also find a dental lab to make this appliance

Yeah I'm the same as improvement, I want to wear something for
long periods of time. I used to use that method and I did feel
positive effects from it but I think it needs to be replicated
over longer periods of time.
That's a good idea with the rod thing, saves designing a
completely new piece, just take the previous idea of reverse
pull headgear and change it slightly.
With the retainer its got no coverage of the teeth, do you thing
it matters I'm pulling with my palate expander?

Yea it matters, because the pressure can move your teeth.But if
you plan to have braces later it's not a big deal

Improvement I would definitely like braces when I'm older, plus
professional treatment for my TMJ if I have the money. I'm
trying to incorporate long term face pulling into my routine, as
the experiments I've seen with results face pull for long
periods at a time. My reverse pull headgear works but only if I
hold it a certain way. I want something I can use overnight. I'm
thinking of getting a facebow as I couldn't have to hold it, but
I'm unsure how it works. Anyone have any idea?

The facebow looks like a torture device; I'm not familiar with
that, but it seems to be highly uncomfortable
I'm against using devices overnight, I think that spoiling your
sleep day after day is one of the worst things you could do to
yourself
