Sometimes I question if it really is cope. I mean, on paper it is supposed to work, but anyway, lmk
Ur not exerting enough force w ur fingers over enough time to do any meaningful expansion, thats why ppl get marpe and have headgear bc its expanding over multiple weeks all day everyday

Is a headgear genuinely worth it? I've been considering
id say speak with an orthodonist ab it bc i havent looked much into palate expansion, but i what i could say is that from thia post ( View: https://www.reddit.com/r/MARPE/comments/1glxlgr/i_started_using_the_crane_face_maskheadgear_with/
) where OP has a crossbite, she mentions headgear can cause forward growth of the maxilla

I heard it should be used as a "complementary force" along with proper tongue posture and chewing
Pretty much how it's "used", again no real data about it. In theory it could make your "mewing gains" (aka just u tryna counteract bad developpement) appear faster.
Don't even know when jester patel started it, either way best to do mewing rn, shi is free passive lm exp when in puberty:jew:.
After puberty pretty much cooked either surgery or Mewing +PEDs for a ludicrous time (like Astrosky)

It could potentially work, but there are not enough studies to prove it, so its effectiveness isn't known for sure. Dr. Mike Mew said he believes in the potential of it and that it makes sense, but it's not certain to work for everyone
