HAHAHAH. I agree. Even me as someone who promoted thumbpulling, I always looked to increase dental height, prescribed stretches, concoctions of different things all just to keep the bite from locking again and retaining change, I was looking for something exactly like your appliance. It keeps change and is easy for the layman, not some 10 step daily plan to retain results. AND it can work on results, Bravo!

Hi Ken. Did you see Oscar Patel his transformation? The guy literally became a model by doing mewing, thumbpulling and diet. How do you explain this if you say the effects without mouthguard are negilible? If anyone not using a mouthguard is wrong, then how are all these kids like oscar transforming their faces? It can’t only be lighting

i had a cursory look at his YT and i didnt see many photos of him when he was younger. eg. 2-10 years ago.

But i bet it you his structure has not changed that much. Was just a slow, natural evolution and he probably always had a a good profile/neck/skull.

I used to have a number of model friends in moscow years back when i lived there. One girl was showing me pics of her when she was younger.

Some of them were far from flattering.

And yet now she looked amazing.

You will find that pattern with good looking people ALL OF THE TIME.

There is nothing special about Oscar in that.

Go find any model.. ask her to look at old pictures. And i guarantee you you'll prob see a similar thing as Oscar.

Does the Revive mouthguard contain synthetic materials? I think this is my main reservation. I try to avoid synthetic fabrics in my clothes, I buy food in glass jars, not cans and rarely plastic. I am hesitant to then expose myself to chemicals by sleeping with something synthetic in my mouth.

it is 100% food grade silicone. Many folks have voiced this concern before purchasing but to my knowledge to this point nobody has had any issues from this.

important to note that these facepulling photos above were pre-2014 and then he did starecta for some years.

He's disappeared for the last several years and I dont think anyone can find him. He dropped off Facebook etc

I would be cautious putting Plato's work on a pedestal. I don't think he understood the full picture and from what I understood earlier thru some rumors... i dont think he is doing too well right now.

Me, Marcello and Plato were communicating and exchanging ideas a fair bit back in 2016-17 on the old Starecta FB grup... and i think if you were to look at those old threads it would be clear that at that point Plato was taking a fair bit of influence from Marcello (who to this day i still think is one of the best minds in the history of this game).
