Thanks for this article. I have short roots/root resorption in my front teeth as I had braces twice in my life. Helps me understand more what a mouth guard like Reviv or Myobrace does as opposed to the damage braces do. Hopeful that my roots in my a couple of my lower teeth regenerate.
I had braces twice on top (additional time on bottom with aligners) and my upper front roots were still freakishly large. Even after jaw surgery which damaged those long roots and required 2 to get root canals which I had for many years. No resorption.
I did have an internal resorption on one of those long teeth (a hole in the center of the root which abscessed) but that was 10 years after getting veneers. (I've since learned many veneered teeth end up being lost.) Then the root canal was infected for 10 years until I pulled it. But the tooth was still as long as ever.
So I don't know what causes the roots to get shorter, but my experience doesn't match your premise.
Jaw surgery, braces 2-3 times, veneers, root canals, infections, and still the longest upper teeth dentists have ever seen.
I'm still interested in your concept but you like to use single data points as strong evidence, and as far as I can tell mine points the opposite way.
(As far as I can tell the absolute worst thing I ever had was having the 4 molars removed to get my first set of braces at 11. My mouth is definitely too small for my tongue, etc. But my jaw was too small for my teeth before they ever did this, because I grew up in mold and with an undiagnosed immune deficiency which caused my jaws to form poorly because of the constant infections and inability to breathe. I can totally see how a tall narrow pallet is bad for biomechanics, and pulling those teeth made the space even smaller.)
not sure i agree that your case conflicts with anything im saying.
So some roots are long.
What im saying is that the skull is very intelligent in compensating.
Your skull compensated in a way that certain roots got longer and resorption occurred somewhere else.
Your story would be an exception if you did all that dental work and you became very healthy and more symmetric.
But im willing to bet that is not what happened.
Also..if you read through the hundreds of comments on our intro post in our skool community. Or the hundreds of other intro posts that are there. You will see a very clear picture of people getting damaged by ortho.
Added more to the post after you wrote this... Maybe check that out.
As to health, I don't have a single typical chronic disease (parents are obese but I'm thin, family all has heart disease but I don't, excellent blood sugar control and blood pressure, etc). I have had infections much of my life, but considering I have a lifelong genetic immune deficiency where I don't make antibodies correctly, and that I lived in mold which massively affects me, I've done shockingly well.
I have scoliosis which has started to cause some spinal issues at 60, but that was there before any dental work.
I got cancer but that was directly related to the covid vax. (And I also had infected teeth at the time.)
I'm having some problems with my neck, but they started when I had a whiplash and are exacerbated by the scoliosis.
and im basically saying that if u wore a mouthguard consistently for a long time, and did some of the stretches i talk about in our community.... that your scoliosis, your cancer, and all your other issues might go away with time.
Which would by default mean that u are wrong about where u are attributing the causes.
You could just say im full of shit and write me off.
Or you could take the small amount of effort/cost it requires to purchase literally almost any mouthguard and test to see if im right. Which by the way is non-invasive and fully reversible.
A lot of people took that small amount of risk.
And the number of folks that have written to me or posted about how reviv is helping them with a wide variety of things probably numbers in the 1000-2000 range now.
I have root resorption for two reasons. Trauma to two specific areas where my jaw bone was fractured as a child and I’ve actually lost the teeth in those areas. Number two I have a very advanced bone disease of cancer, which causes all my bones to become brittle and I have recently in the past two years actually had perfectly healthy white teeth just come right out because the bone and root have deteriorated and no longer hold the tooth in place. Now I get bone injections to help keep this from happening. But I have a dentist appointment in January so I will let you know if there has been a difference with my root health,
Also, just FYI, when you copy and paste articles, they’re so small that no matter how much I expand them I can’t read them. I don’t have any eyesight problems. It’s just that most of your readers are gonna be on a mobile device and expanding them makes you go word by word scrolling left, or right on the page and is just kind of impossible to get all that material read. If you were to copy and paste it in the same format that you’re typing we would be able to read it.
thanks for the inputs.. def let me know if any difference with your root health. I guess you started Reviv a little while back?
And sure.. i get your point on the copy & paste of articles... the one by John Mew i actually only received it as an image so i dont even have the original text.
But ill keep this in mind for the future and try to do as u mentioned.

I started wearing the mouthguard a week ago, but by my next dentist check up would be five months of wearing it.
