NCR and orthodontics

I've been doing research on the web and doing some thinking
regarding NCR and orthodontics combined. I was thinking we could
brainstorm and share experiences here in this thread. There are
a couple of areas I've been wondering about.
First of all, I'm treating myself with a lateral palate expander
and am also trying to do self-NCR.
I was wondering if anybody knows whether you should take out the
expander when inflating the balloon? My concern is that if I do,
the teeth/jaws might start moving and the appliance might no
longer fit. However, if I don't, the appliance might keep the
teeth from going in the direction they want to go in. What are
your thoughts on this?
In this interview dr. Howell talks about a guy whose jaws
expanded:

Quote: "I've got a patient named Scott, who I've been treating
for years. His skull is so enlarged that his dental arches have
widened, and his crooked teeth have straightened out - just from
the larger skull."
In a way I think that's weird because any time the upper jaw
expands, the lower will have to catch up or they won't fit
together. So how does that work in a case like this?
On to my next question. Rachel on this forum had NCR and her
lower jaw came forward, almost like it was lengthened! How did
that happen? Even though I try to jut my mandible forward as
much as I can, I still don't get that much of a longer jaw.
Also, I've been thinking about retainers. Does NCR eliminate the
need for lifelong retention after orthodontics? Even dr. Hang's
treatment for adult patients requires a retainer for the rest of
their lives. But it sounds like, with NCR, this might not be
necessary because every bone in the skull will be aligned and
balanced. Here's a forum post where dr. Howell talks about
retainers:

That's it for now. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
I have to say this forum is very fascinating and I value your
opinions.

Thanks for your feedback, Tyler! Don't worry about brainstorming
about the skull. Most people here know that we are laymen who
are boldly going where no-one has gone before. ;)
