if elastics work why mewing doesn't? is there an age limit for elastics? if so what is it?

elastics are pulling teeth back mewing is trying to change the shape of your skull they are completely different

elastics are supposed to pull the maxxilla not change the position of teeth AFAIK

mewing is supposed to change the position of the maxxilla as well

it's not the point of this thread. i am not defending mewing Answer my question or gtfo


btw if there was a legit ascension from mewing it woulld be considered surgery anyways lol

fine. elastics pull your teeth/jaw back
while mewing tries to pull them FOWARD which it fails to do

Elastics move the teeth within the alveolar bone, which is a special type of bone that is fairly remodellable.
Mewing pushes against the hard palate which is a regular bone. The sutures of the palate, which allow movement, closes at like 13, meaning movement is not possible once they are closed.

elastics move jawbone afaik

They don't. The jaw has regular bone and alveolar bone, the teeth sit in the alveolar bone, which is what elastics move.

whats the diff? appearance wise

Mewing doesn't do anything if you don't start from the age of 10.
Elastics just move your teeth within your alveolar bone to straighten teeth.

So you cannot get recessed by having elastics? or elastics + or premolar extractions

While it is true that movement isn't possible once the sutures have fused, they typically do not close at 13 (otherwise your face wouldn't change much past that age).
Most facial sutures relevant to facial aesthetics fuse around the end of puberty, which is why palate expansion devices used by orthodontists are able to work without breaking the suture up to around 15-16 years old.

Yeah, I typed the wrong number. I know a few orthos though, and they seem pretty reluctant to give people around 15-16 palate expanders, probably because the sutures start fusing by then and tooth-borne expanders(most orthos don't do TAD expanders) would most likely fuck with the teeth.

Elastic makes constant pressure, mewing is just when you remember to mew

Probably dxxniel, though other looksmaxxing methods he used played a bigger role IMO.

You know there's something called the alveolar bone, right? FFS, it's 2024 and some peoples here still believe in mewing, facepulling, bonesmashing, injecting some stupid peptides to get bonegrowth or whatever other retarded cope.

You either get lucky at birth, or get surgery, that's it.
