       Besides, not a single facepulling device is anchored on the
       mandible. Bringing maxilla forward is enough to "bring
       everything forward", which is why all devices focus on that.
       Mandible merely follows the upper jaw and remodels itself
       according to the needs of the bite.

       What? the reverse pull headgear anchors on the mandible... And
       your right looking at the photo again i don't see any recession
       in mandible. BUT Below is a passage from the crane website,
       "Unlike facemasks, this device revolutionizes forward pull by
       NOT pushing on the cranial bones, mandible or facial bones.  the
       CRANE delivers precise forces to quickly achieve amazing results
       without surgery. the CRANE is more effective than traditional
       methods of forward pull because it's not using the mandible
       (considered an anatomical joint) and facial bones (also subject
       to being pushed in or moved) to "move" the maxilla forward.
       Question: Do current methods of reverse pull the maxilla and
       facial bones out OR are the mandible and facial bones actually
       being pushed in? "

       Ah yeah, I misunderstood the issue you were talking about. I
       thought that by talking about anchoring you were referring to
       the pulling force that is anchored to the braces/appliance on
       the upper dental arch.
       Yes, that may be an issue, at least for children whose bones are
       still very malleable.

       Skull I understand, no disputing she looks better in the second
       picture though, so obviously the face pulling has worked!
       Slamo28 I've looked into the Crane and the neck brace seems real
       bulky, I was hoping to wear any face pulling appliance overnight
       but I doubt I'd be able to with that. I know the guy on
       facpulling.com has made his own but I'm not sure if I have to
       skills for that.
       I see what you mean about the mandible as well, I think she
       should have carried on face pulling with something that didnt
       push the lower jaw and perhaps at a more forward angle, as this
       would have fixed the gummy smile which is a sign of a recessed
       maxilla I believe?
       I'm hoping to book an assessment with an orthodontist in these
       next coming months to begin treatment.. I'm not 100% sure my
       reading is accurate but my interior molar width is 30mm which I
       believe is small considering I have 28 teeth?
       Lastly, what appliance do we think is more effective? CP got
       results using a bulky acrylic palate expander, and I already
       have one of those (but not yet a treatment plan), but I like the
       idea of the ALF because it's constant and can be paired with
       myofunctional therapy which is better in the long run. I'm
       considering using ALF to expand then once expanded have braces
       (maybe damon for even more axpansion?) and facepull whilst
       having braces with my palate expandre, or even whilst wearing
       the ALF.

       I would probably go with the ALF so that you can practice proper
       oral posture while undergoing treatment. Although any expander
       is good just make sure you practice myofunctional therapy
       directly after treatment.

       GuysI will propose to my ortho to use Crane on me, wish me good
       luck and if he does agree (and I do not live in any capital or
       big city) well it could be taken as living example of the fact
       that is not necessary to travel worldwide to have a Crane
       treatment done. Fly in America is like madness for someone who
       lives in any other part of the world. Tons of money..
       [/quote]
       Let us know what he says. One ortho i called had different rates
       for different services. He said $625 for him to oversee the
       entire crane treatment, and another amount (he didnt say) for
       them to just provide it along with modified retainers.

       Do you mean retainers related to the Crane treatment? I emailed
       the Crane people a few days ago asking if a retainer is used for
       pulling with the Crane and they said the suggested appliance was
       a reverse pull version of ALF. (I'm trying to attach a photo of
       it, but keep getting an error message)

       yes i do mean retainers related the Cranee. they told me i could
       use a retainer with hooks attached to it. But yea the usually
       use ALF. really wanna see that phot. if your pulling image from
       a website then right click, copy image location, click insert
       image right below BOLD button, then paste image location in
       between prompt.

       A modified retainer would be preferable, if that could be used
       instead of the ALF. I couldn't confirm it because there wasn't a
       whole lot of info, but I thought I heard that ALF requires those
       headgear posts (whatever the correct term is) bonded around your
       teeth?
       The Crane employee I emailed didn't reply when I asked if
       there's any more patient before/after photos besides X-rays,
       which was very disappointing considering the "years of testing"
       their site proclaims.
       Trying to attach the photo keeps bringing up a message saying
       "the upload folder is full", so here it is:

       Yea this is all you need for the crane. Also, strangely im not
       surprised there are no before and after pics. The crane needs to
       be worn at night and i know for a fact peoples sleep habits are
       poor already. The lady i talked to said one has to teach his or
       herself to sleep on their back for this treatment to work. for
       the average person who curls up into a ball at night, sleeping
       on their back will most likely be so uncomfortable that they say
       **** it and give up. Throw a crane in the mix and forget it. BUT
       my hypothesis is once someone fixes their head posture and can
       sleep on their back without ANY PILLOWS (which i have done), the
       crane should would perfectly. Anyone who has the crane, is this
       wishful thinking or does this sound practical?

       I agree that with correctly forward grown bone structure it
       should be possible, and perhaps even optimal. Do you find it
       easy to breathe while sleeping on your back without a pillow? I
       find sleep apnea and heavy snoring unavoidable when sleeping on
       back, even after using pillows to elevate the head and neck.
       It seems that even Native Americans - whose skulls neared
       perfection - didn't sleep without a pillow. Yet considering the
       evolution of the modern human it should be reasonable to assume
       that man spent majority of this lengthy period sleeping without
       a pillow, especially before becoming self-aware enough to start
       utilizing complex tools. All animals in the nature have their
       own proper growth ensuring natural sleeping positions that can
       be achieved without any extra props. It wouldn't make sense to
       believe that the modern human would've evolved to need a pillow
       for sleep either. Instead, it was probably something that was
       picked up over time to compensate for improper structure and
       form.
