ok i know im a new acc but I feel like I have done enough research in this past hour to know somewhat of how thumbpulling is complete bullshit
thumbpulling relies on the idea that adult sutures are infinitely malleable, wolffs law suggests bone adapts to load but that doesn't mean you can widen or pull your maxilla to yukutan. also, the force is just way too inconsistent. for example, with Professional orthodontics such as MARPE or MSE it uses constant Mechanical force measured in newtons. simply to put it your thumbs are NOT doing that using your thumbs most likely has a higher chance of causing dentoalveolar tipping or just asymmetry, and unless you deadass just do nothing all day the time it takes is genuinely just not worth it Spending hours a day aggressively tugging on your palate while your midface remains stagnant is genuinely schizo.
keep in mind this advice is by someone who isn't high iq and barley did any research do what you want when you want how you want.
