In 2013 orthodontists published a [https://www.hindawi.com/journals/crid/2014/270257/ paper] in which they explain how they fixed the maxillary deficiency of an adult woman. After 17 months applying a force of 0.5 kilograms for 12 hours a day, the woman obtained a maxillary growth of 1.7 millimiters. This number was enough to correct the malocclusion of the woman, however 1.7 millimiters is not enought to consider Facepulling a satysting looksmaxxing technique, since [[Plastic surgery|Bimaxillary surgery]] can achieve | In 2013 orthodontists published a [https://www.hindawi.com/journals/crid/2014/270257/ paper] in which they explain how they fixed the maxillary deficiency of an adult woman.

Currently there are no scientific studies involving a maxillary protraction with bigger forces as strong the user [[CopeAndRope]] recommended using to pull the maxilla. | Currently there are no scientific studies involving a maxillary protraction with bigger forces as strong the user [[CopeAndRope]] recommended using to pull the maxilla. | ||

The user must make sure he keeps his bite close with upper and lower teeth strongly attached. This way the mandible will follow the maxilla in growing forward | The user must make sure he keeps his bite close with upper and lower teeth strongly attached.
