I visited the man in person. Did you know he didn't invent palate expanders? I cannot believe we are conned into believing he and madman castle-dwelling father came up with this. A real and reputable orthodontist fitted the same device on me. I had to turn the little screw thing every other day or something? I do not recall...Mike mew duped his gullible followers into thinking braces are horrible and will give you a recessed maxilla
Can you guess what happens?
As an adult your LOWER jaw cannot be expanded without SARPE. Your upper palate however does expand. Eventually you lose your bite because the bottom jaw does not widen while the top does. You then need train tracks or Invisalign etc. to bring your bite back.
My palate did widen of course, but there was not a noticeable difference in physical appearance and some of the width was lost to bring back the bite. I should have just had Invisalign from the get-go.
In person Mike appears to have actual bruxism, and has a very narcissistic personality (bragged a lot about how he will soon be a celebrity etc). Which is not too much of an issue IMO and yet it should be taken into account when listening to him discuss what he is able to do. He also said he expects the doctor patient relationship reversed, where he says "jump and you say how high" he told me.
He also wanted me to pay for that thing where you expand balloons up your nose. Which is of course a con. He himself admitted he did not really believe in it but has it in his program just in case. The balloon quackery costs multiple thousands.
