Should you press your thumbs will full force? Also whats the minimum amount of time you should spend doing it daily? As doing it for a couple hours a day is very time consuming and tedious

how many minutes a day did you thumbpull for to widen your palate so quickly

1- Thumbpulling/mouthguard/histo-stretching brings slower more sustained change that allows for the whole structure to adapt (including the periodontal ligament) so it doesn't create a gap, one of its benefits over expanders. 2- Expanders only expand in one plate (horizontal). The techniques I share expand in three planes: lateral, forward and upwards. 3- Other improvements I've gotten that expanders/surgery can't give you: Better posture, straight teeth, better symmetry, no complications (which are really really common with expanders and surgery, plus being expensive), etc. 4- I share PROOF of this (literally including pictures taken by orthodontists lol) and explain it in more detail in my last video, where I reveal how much expansion I've gotten. (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQm4YABEY_9/?igsh=MW01dG1jN2diMjBoZA== part 1. Part 2 soon). 5- Much older people than me have gotten a lot of results too. This is because even if others tell you otherwise, the scientific literature is actually inconclusive in when sutures actually close. Plus what I share works via soft tissue, I go in more detail in other comments and that video.
