       Difference between Face pulling and palatal expansion device?

       Hi everyone I'm new here and was wondering what are difference
       between the two besides the method.
       I mean are they targeting the same type of expansion or
       different?  How would you know which one is more beneficial?
       Also how effective is using your thumbs to push on your upper
       palate?  Does that count as a version of Face pulling?
       I am planning on getting cranial facial release (another similar
       to NCR/endonasal) and was wondering if a palatal expansion
       device
       would complement it.
       I am new here please be patient with me, and I appreciate all
       your help.  I'm really tired btw.  I have chronic insomnia for
       years.
       Thanks

       Well WE don't. You perhaps will. Everything depends on the
       details (how you implement facepulling, expansion etc) and your
       unique physical situation. It may be possible to expand the
       palate simultaneously while facepulling. It may also be
       impossible. Using a thumb to push on the palate generates the
       kind of force that the tongue should be generating anyways,
       which makes it somewhat redundant as a technique.
       There are two ways to go on about improving your situation:
       1) Get the anatomical function of the whole body as optimal as
       you can before implementing external appliances. It is possible
       that you won't even need anything else to get results. This is
       basically a risk-free approach.
       2) Jump straight into facepulling and palatal expansion. Not
       risk free, but also a potentially faster approach.
       I believe it's fully possible to achieve significantly better
       skull structure over time using the body's own mechanics alone,
       without any external appliances. Some will disagree. It's up to
       you. Just be careful and have some common sense. Make sure that
       you have the ability listen to your body. If you're analytical
       and intuitive you will easily figure everything out by yourself
       along the way.

       Everything said here so far is great, I agree that palette for
       narrow palette is commonly a good point to start. There are
       results of adults with device only palette expansion and many
       more people doing that than specific Orthotropics... I agree in
       first figuring out exactly what is going on in your situation
       and structure first :)

       Narrow palate is a symptom itself. It doesn't appear
       spontaneously. The actual root cause can vary from person to
       person, but for most it points towards something having gone
       wrong during the first months/years of development. Be it
       unfavourable conditions in the womb, allergic environment,
       deficient nutrition/energy, physical diseases or lack of
       physical activity... whatever disrupts the natural anatomical
       function is going to lead to deficient structure.
       But this is just nitpicking. Having a wide palate is indeed
       important.

       Thanks every one for clearing that up.  I have decided I am
       going to buy the expander from the website that has been posted
       here.
       Is there any basically tips or suggestions for using that upper
       jaw device?  Do you wear it 24/7 or only at night?
       Keep in mind the very thing someone is trying to do is improve
       their brain function and the simpler things are, the better
       because if your coming from a place of decreased brain function
       too much information feel impossible of making sense of.
       I just did a rough measure using a tape on the outside of my
       mouth but aiming it at my molars, and it came out to be about
       1.5 inches or 38.1 mm.

       I'm sorry I asked a question that already has a lot of posts
       about.
       I am in the situation where I highly believe i have been living
       life with an undiagnosed developmental delay/learning
       disability.
       I can see the assymetry in my face and the kind of weird shape.
       In addition I have had postural and coordination problems my
       entire life.
       Now for about 8 years I have had a tweaked back and I can't find
       a comfortable sleeping position which has thrown everything out
       of whack.  Not being able to sleep has screwed with my head
       much.
       I have tried alot of therapies and I have to say that none
       actually made any improvement and none of them actually gave me
       an intuitive sense that it was for me.
       Endonasal balloons and expanding the palate with a device
       actually make sense.
       I really hope that I am overthinking this as a result of my
       brain chemistry/structure and that maybe expanding my palate
       increases some blood and oxygen flow and starts to change my
       perception of my reality and the way I feel.
       I honestly believe that it is possible.  And I don't believe in
       diagnoses.
