just ordered reviv, whats the the typical eta on delivery? also, am I cooked for getting my wisdoms out? (two of the four removed were impacted and all had early signs of crowding, i waited like 5 years before it seemed i had no other option, and then i found out about rubber mouthguards)

typically 7-10 days depending on where you are.

You're not cooked for getting wisdoms out. A collapse process will have begun and the Reviv will start to stretch things back out.

When I use myobrace my lower jaw protrudes. Is this normal? This worries me, who already has a slight underbite.

in my view its fine.. with this stuff my generally view is you need to take a long-term view and just sort of 'trust the process'. Things (in my experience) tend to work themselves out and line up better and better in time

Do you know if they added composite to that lady’s teeth from that OSB example. That facial transformation is crazy.

EGK's avatar

note there is a lot of lighting differences and i actually think her face is getting longer and narrower.

I would not be surprised at all if u were to look up this lady now and she has health issues.

Is it because of all the composite?

EGK's avatar

it's because OSB locks an occlusion. And as ive written here... the jaw/skull need multiple locking positions otherwise curve of spee flattens

yes they cover all the existing teeth with composite. i had the same done to me and my son.

Became a complete mess for both of us in terms of food getting stuck and cavities.

Does your son have tongue and lip ties and did you have them clipped?

Ortho this week said they’ll be no improvement without cutting them on my child.

We bought the tiny mouth guard you recommended and it stayed in her mouth all night by the 3rd night. Eager to see if your smaller product fits her now that I know she’ll be compliant.

Awesome!

i had my son's tongue tie clipped in vietnam when he was two yrs old. It didnt do anything.

Lip tie i forget if he had. But i think they clipped several things.

I personally consider advice from ortho's at the same level as when the homeless guy down the street gives me financial mgmt advice lol

Orthos have made a living putting braces and invisalign on people. And essentially destroying them.

Cackled out loud at comparing the Ortho to the homeless guy 😂. I love how you illustrate things haha

Hi Ken, I'm wondering if you can explain a bit more about your son and what you did...I'm not sure what composites are?...my daughter did have palatal expansion when she was 8. She is now almost 11 and has been wearing a MyoBrace. The Ortho was horrified when she went back for a checkin and I told him we were not wearing the retainer but doing a MyoBrace instead. He said now she is edge to edge, teeth are not touching in back... posterior open bite?? Sorry, I'm new and trying to learn all this. I'm wondering if this is a concern iyo, or should I keep doing the MyoBrace with her.? I also wonder if your appliances work like the MyoBrace (for children) as they are much cheaper than the MyoBrace. I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing to widen her palate, etc!

Thanks

Hi the composite i used on my son is dental cement. Pretty much the same as i believe dentists use to do fillings. I talk about it in this article more and put some links to 'Primary molar buildups' which is what some dentists call is https://www.egkbiomechanics.com/p/the-approach-to-take-for-

Posterior open bite and edge-to-edge bite are extremely common during this process and not a cause for concern in my view. But you do need to have your daughter continue to wear the myobrace at night to support it and have the bite continue to progress.

And yes Reviv works the same as Myobrace in my view/experience. They are both just flat mouthguards. I used the Myobrace A1 since 2016 and used it for ~9 yrs till i started Reviv in 2024. They do the exact same thing in my experience.
