Side note: Your son looks exactly like you! 👏 Very interesting concept.

Haha

I wrote an article on my views of the mews.

I know of them since 2015.

I think they have a flawed understanding of how this works and it’s why mike used an expander that gave a kid neurological symptoms.

Which mike lost his dental license for

Why would an expander cause neurological symptoms? It’s pretty common to widen the palate in children.

EGK's avatar

yes i know its pretty common..

so are braces and invisalign which i also consider very damaging

i wrote an article about it https://reviv.substack.com/p/palate-expanders-are-completely-wrong

it locks your cranial bones, particularly your two maxillas

Not gonna lie, this sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi parenting manual: 'Start your 2-year-old on dental composite for model-level beauty by age 15!' 😂

But I’m curious—how do you think this intersects with more natural approaches like Mewing? Did you feel like those methods just didn’t work long enough to stick with before moving to composite?

Weird i thought i responded yesterday but now i dont see it.

I talk a bit about the mews here: https://reviv.substack.com/p/my-take-on-the-mews

Mewing simply doesn’t work at all if a person is locked into a very set occlusion and isn’t wearing a rubber mouthguard.

Also note that the Mews and I agree on some elements as they give a myobrace to some of their patients.. which is essentially the same as a Reviv One.

And i 100% disagree on their use of palate expanders like the Biobloc which i think John Mew hiimself invented and promotes.

I believe the biobloc is the reason mike gave a kid seizure-like issues and had his dental license taken a few years ago https://reviv.substack.com/p/mike-mews-court-case-why-did-it-happen?utm_source=publication-search

Kind of like getting your children, their chickenpox vaccine? If this was truly about a child’s pure health, why would you even mention shooting them up with poison? I loved all your content so far until I read your very last sentence wow.

EGK's avatar

im honestly not familiar with the chicken pox vaccine.. as a child of the 80's it was just something all kids in america had done.

i have no view/stance on vaccines and have literally done like zero research on them.

Thanks Diane! I came here to say the same thing. The only parents that are reading this are probably ones that don't vaccinate their children because they've done the research. I'm not asking you to do the research.I'm just warning you that that is your demographic and you may want to change your last sentence to something else we just do that is actually helpful. And that's why i'm here , because I question everything! i'm trying to do the best thing for my child.

i removed it...

ive lived outside of the US for most of the last 20+ yrs... so i kind of missed most of this vaccine scandal as its not been something that has been talked about a lot here in thailand

That is great. It will serve you. How amazing that you got to live in all these interesting places. God bless. I almost hit the payment button on the expander at the ortho for my daughter yesterday. So, I am thankful for the info you have here. I'll be deep diving it soon. The hard part in my mind is, will this really do it? Will it provide the amount of space we need? I am also interested in your theories and knowledge from other parts of the world on tonsils and tonsil removal.

i would join our community and browse the posts a bit.. quite a few folks have posted about the expansion they are getting and how teeth are aligning.

And you'll see hundreds of posts/comments about how people were damaged by ortho.
