Link to post with pic from CBCT scan: alyssaluck.com/cbct-results-an-update-on-implants-agga-cab-update/ ALSO. Totally forgot to mention this in the vid, but I’m not re-recording it: dentist was extremely pleased with the position of my jaw in the CBCT scan. Extremely. So that’s another reason he’s in favor of just bringing the molars forward rather than doing extra fiddling to try to make the ...

I used a face symmetry app to see what my face would look like if it was perfectly symmetrical based on either the right or left side, and here I’m musing on whether my history of only chewing on one side might have contributed to facial asymmetry. 6:00 is when I show the pics if you wanna skip my rambling...and here's a text/blog version if you want to see the pics better and skip my rambling ...

AGGA Before & After

Full post with photos: alyssaluck.com/agga-before-after-10mm-expansion/ These are before/after photos from my ~1 year of expansion with AGGA, resulting in 10mm forward growth on each side. I still have to finish the Controlled Arch Braces phase before I’m fully done, so you can expect the final before/afters in another year or so.

The Crane reverse-pull headgear review
This is your last video? No update?
Does chewing in one side helps to make face symmetrical?
Hey guys! I've always thought chewing on the 'chubbier' side will make my face more symmetrical to look like my slimmer side. I recently found out that youre supposed to massage, chew and do all the work on the slimmer side. It you pay close attention you'll notice that your chubbier side isn't chubby but in fact has great muscle structure. The slimmer side is weaker with no muscle structure. To make it more clear I'll give you an example, exercising your arms. If you do all the work on your right arm, you'll build muscles and it'll look more defined. So in order to even it out, you have to do the same work on the slimmer arm. That's all you guys hope it helps and correct me if I'm wrong.
I have a question I always work on my right arm and my right arm skin is tighter. Whereas I found out my left side is weak (because I don't write by my left arm) and also the skin is puffy and not tight. So how do you describe this?
And so like my left side of my face is bigger and I don't feel exhausted chewing left side. Whereas my right side skin us tighter and flatter and I feel exhausted chewing in my right side. So in my words my right side of face is weak . As I cannot smirk easily like my left side or I hardly can lift my eyebrow on right side of my face. So which side should I start chewing to make it assymetric or defined
I love wearing my glossy Brite hot pink lipstick with my braces and coil springs with stainless steel rods stainless steel springs and headgear on
where can I get one? Is it only available for orthodontists in some way?
I’ve been chewing on one side for year now and my jaw is uneven. What do I do?
start chewing from your weaker jaw , I mean the side where you didnt used tochew for a long time follow it until you see improvements
The shape of the maxillary palace looks bigger and wider from v to U. The face also looks more three-dimensional and good
girl, you are beautiful i couldnt even tell your face was assymetrical. assymetry is a really common thing and people usually dont notice it. i think you are really pretty ❤
Gurl at least you have an attractive face in my case my face parts are ugly including eyes,nose,jaws and main these eyebrowss
❤ hope all is well, all the agga mess ups and lawsuits❤
Hey thanks so much for this video. I'm curious what you think about pulling the maxilla forward and the mandible (lower jaw)... do you think that the mandible swings forward as the maxilla advances? Some say it does, others say it doesn't. I'd be afraid of the mandible not coming forward.
Hi! I'm not sure - I don't work with patients, so I don't have any experience that could tell me whether that does or doesn't happen. That was never a concern of mine personally because my mandible always wanted to be farther forward than my maxilla would allow; in fact, that was the main reason I undertook palate expansion/AGGA.
Maybe move to another room?
Tnx for the video sister
Hi can you do an update! Hope you are doing well
You really should not portray all of this as being “ok”. You are fortunate to have gotten on the right path, but many have not, and the misinformation still exists online and in these past videos of yours.
Do you have an example of somewhere I’ve given misinformation? If so I’m happy to take a look! My intent with my videos and blogs has been to share my own experience and decision making processes, not to endorse anything or tell people what to do.
@@alyssaluck I know from your prior videos that you explained what this appliance followed by CAB was supposed to achieve. Yet in this video, you don't tell your audience that these claims were false and that it wasn't achieved. Every time teeth are moved, there is damage. So you are not in the same place you were before AGGA-CAB. Your audience needs to know that. Thank you for your reply! I appreciate your diligence to follow up.
Hi everyone. I used to chew on my right side (probably) and that side is small, lifted, and has a smaller jaw. The other side looks flat but larger. I also noticed that my chin is slightly moved towards the right side. Now if i wanna fix this, which side should i use to chew? It is really confusing because different people are giving different suggestions but i don't wanna follow a wrong suggestion and make my facial asymmetry worse.
I have also this problem and really confused about it
💯
@shujamaimum9555 same here! I had wisdom tooth surgery in 2021 on my left side so I had to chew on my right side. So I've been chewing on my right side without realizing been doing it for 3 years already. Now I notice that my right side is smaller and slimmer than my left side. So now I'm starting to develop the habit of chewing on my left side and hopefully it will make that side smaller too. I know it's gonna take years too and I'll be patiently waiting for result and try not to think or look at it all the time 😅
Hi Alyssa if you still have the Crane Mask, i need one for My Mse treatment and would like to buy it off of You.
Do you support adolf hitler?
Kek
Can u do the update
Waittt i was chewing on one side but i suddenly forgot that which side i was chewing and now to balance my face, i don't know from which side i should chew! My right jaw is flatter and left one is chubbier so i should chew from right or left
Any updates ?
chew on the chubby side. the baby face looking part is the most undeveloped.
Are you left handed
Aww...such a pretty girl despite the mild asymmetry and things. I've had a wisdom tooth causing me issues for years now. I have been chewing on my left side for years because of this. Now my left cheek is noticeably bigger than the right. On top of that I have facial fat due to a high body fat percentage and high MBI. However, I have recently began a weight loss journey plus I've deliberately chewed on my right side for the last few weeks. So far I've lost around 15 lbs and I think there's a slight improvement but it's hard to see in the weekly pictures I've been taking. I hope this issue will correct itself at some point. Of course, I plan to visit my dentist at some point too. I haven't been for years!!
Is your face now ok
@@Mycreavings Incredibly, it is not. I've been chewing all of my food on the smaller side for around one year yet I still have this issue. I decided to buy some special chewing gum and I've been chewing this for around one month at this point. Things appeared to have improved slightly but the asymmetry is still noticeable. It is infuriating and I'm not sure I can get this issue sorted.
Your a very attractive lady, 90% of people can’t even tell no face is perfect.
Hi Alyssa if you still have the Crane Mask, I need one for My Mse treatment and would like to buy it off of You.
What is the name of the app you used to test you left and right side
CBS News recently covered AGGA ("Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance") and reports of it being unproven, aswell as damaging.... ua-cam.com/video/LseqCvMme0c/v-deo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Do you have silver fillings in the back? Could you please do a video on these as well?
I don't have any fillings!
Allysia Can i Ask you smt did you notice some différence in your nose forme After you ve got extraction and the Space was closed ?
Because i noticed on mine like if someone pushed on my nose
I didn’t notice anything, but I was so young I wasn’t really paying attention! I had the extractions when I was 8.
@@alyssaluck ok thanks a lot !! For youre respons :*
Can you show your teeth extreme up close and show your back molars in detail please
Yes.... please do👍
Alyssa Can i Ask you why they did bring the molars back ? In place to do the implants ? Thank you because I wanna bring the molars in place to make do implants
Hi! I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand your question. After the AGGA expansion process, I had a gap on either side between the canine and premolar. We moved the premolars forward through the gap so that the jawbone would remodel and strengthen (better for implants), and then put implants in the resulting gaps (in front of the back molars and behind the premolars).
@@alyssaluck oh sorry i was writing fast ok i understand but you told in one or one vidéo that in place to do the implants WE could alson bring the molars foreward to close the Space or did i not understand well ? Thank you !!!
@@elaaela149 ah, yes! The “normal” way to finish the AGGA process is to bring both molars forward to close the gap, and my AGGA dentist suggested doing that when my first CBCT scan showed not enough room for the implants. I initially agreed, but then wasn’t happy with the way things were going, so I switched to an orthodontist and he made enough space for the implants. So we left my molars where they were!
@@alyssaluck ok just for knowing thats possible because i m scared of the implant and can i also Ask you why you were not happy with how does thé things going ( when you tried to bring foreward thé molars) if you have time to respond thanks a lot really !! It means a lot for all of us !! And i m so glad that you could do it,
@@elaaela149 I talked all about that in this video and the one after it! ua-cam.com/video/BhsVbQ1yxaU/v-deo.html
You are so beautiful its really beautiful on you i see the différence i really Can believe how Can orthodontiste Still take teeth when you sée thé répercution
Braces closeup please
You are beautiful !!
You should see mine. You look amazing. I realized this at age 36. I will ask my dentist what can we do. Hope is not expensive 🫰😞
Why does it sound cute ;-;
Updates please!
👍🏻
What teeth are you missing?
Hi, I had elastics when I was younger and it pulled my upper jaw back and now I have breathing issues. Do you know does this reverse pull headgear actually work for adults? Or does it just move the teeth?
Hey, sorry I missed your comment before! Unfortunately your question gets at the heart of the controversy surrounding palate expansion/arch development in adults - some people claim it's possible to achieve genuine bone growth, others claim that any "growth" you may get is just moving teeth and compromising their stability. Although with something like the crane, the force is distributed across all the teeth of the upper dental arch, so seems like it would be less likely to have any significant effect on the teeth. And if you attach it to a bone-borne MSE or similar appliance, it would have no affect on the teeth at all, and any growth would have to be the maxilla itself.
Why Damon braces compared to different braces? What does Damon do?
Can I get Agga and Damon braces afterwards instead?
That's actually what I ended up doing! After I quit the controlled arch braces and switched from my AGGA dentist to an orthodontist, the orthodontist put Damon braces on me to finish up the treatment. But that definitely wasn't the initial plan and isn't part of the AGGA protocol, so I'm guessing it would depend on the flexibility of your specific practitioner as to whether you could do something similar.
But why did you stop the controlled arch braces? What were they doing?
stop worrying you're beautiful the way you are. try to contact me i have some quetions; thanks a bunch
No, you are a lier. Her left side looks ugly.
like my face is bigger then the other side so asymertical be fixed when we started chewing on the slimmer side? plz reply im very worried......
I've been chewing on my right side for around 7-8 months and now my left cheek is sunken, its kinda lower than the right. Can i even out my cheeks by chewing on both sides?
I'm facing the same problem and I think solution to this is to first improve by chewing on sunken side for some time and see if that works for you or not
Mee to broo now I started to. Chewing in lower jaw I think their is a 5% change my left jaw line is little up and right is little lowered now I chew little bit more on right side
Looking forward to your next update Alyssa! :)
Been chewing on the flat side of my face for a while now and honestly my face is almost symmetric now... Infact I only see the difference when I touch them... Its almost equal... Will continue chewing with the flat side for now until it finally balance out. Also I think I look better now 😊
hi how many weeks or months have you been chewing on that part? do you do any exercises?
How long did you chew before seeing results
any updates?
@promiseafolajin8736 when you said flat side did you mean the larger side of your face? The one that you didn't chew on before?
Do regular braces pull jaw backwards which is bad
Not necessarily! Braces are a very versatile tool - it totally depends on how the orthodontist is using them. But it’s very common practice for orthodontists to use them to close gaps, retracting teeth in the process.
Hey, I'm just wondering do you still have the appliance going across the roof of your mouth in this video? Just trying to figure out how much it effects speech cuz you sound great here! I might have to get a similar appliance but have been putting it off as I'm a musician and didn't wanna lose the ability to record for a year but this doesn't sound bad at all! Thanks🙏
Hi Sashi! In this video I have braces with an FRLA, so it's the same mouth hardware setup that I had in this video where I was really lispy at first: ua-cam.com/video/sATgtZioaJ4/v-deo.html What I don't have in this video is the AGGA, which is the appliance (without braces) that I had in my first four videos on this channel. Hopefully that helps! Good luck with everything!!
I hv my right side asymmetrical Its like my selfie comes good bt rear pic is so bad from back camera Right side of my face is much slimmer than left Wht to do?
Then chewing on weaker side ( flat side)
I chew on the right side But the right side is the flatter side 🥲
