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 14 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 | 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 14 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 millimeters is not enough to consider Facepulling a satisfying looksmaxxing technique, since [[Plastic surgery|Bimaxillary surgery]] can achieve 10+ millimeters of maxillary forward growth in 2 hours.<br> | ||
Currently there are no scientific studies involving a maxillary protraction with stronger forces applied on the maxilla, for example the [[Looksmax.me]] user [[CopeAndRope]] recommended to facepull with 2kilograms of force. | Currently there are no scientific studies involving a maxillary protraction with stronger forces applied on the maxilla, for example the [[Looksmax.me]] user [[CopeAndRope]] recommended to facepull with 2kilograms of force. | ||

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.
