Is Justin Bieber suffering because of his braces?

Substance abuse, relationship issues, emotional outbursts, a neurological disease.... the signs are there.

Youtube

Justin has been in the news a fair bit lately for a variety of things, but perhaps one of the most notable ones is the whole Diddy scandal.

Another one are rumors of marital issues.

Now i don’t really read this stuff so I’m not up on the latest gossip, but rather i just catch the occasional tiktok about him.

It probably pops up in my feed because I actually do like his music and listen to it sometimes.

But anyway it’s pretty well known that he had braces and a few people have asked me in the past whether I thought some of his current issues are due to them.

So that is the question I am going to try to analyse today.

Justin has been struggling in recent years

Justin’s life in recent years has been marked by a series of personal and professional challenges.

His marriage to Hailey Baldwin, while appearing happy on social media, has reportedly faced significant strain with a number of fairly emotional public reactions to his wife by Justin.

In 2022, Bieber made the difficult decision to cancel his "Justice World Tour," citing health concerns.

Beyond his professional setbacks, Bieber has been candid about his emotional and mental health struggles. In various interviews and his YouTube documentary series, he's discussed battling depression, anxiety, and the immense pressure that came with his early fame.

His behavior has occasionally appeared erratic, and he's admitted to past substance abuse issues that required intervention from those close to him.

Then in 2022 Justin revealed his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

He has the neurological disease, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a neurological condition caused by the varicella-zoster virus – the same virus responsible for chickenpox and shingles.

When this virus infects the facial nerve near the inner ear, it can cause facial paralysis and a painful rash. For Bieber, this manifested as partial facial paralysis, affecting his ability to smile, blink, and perform normally.

The condition typically develops when the dormant chickenpox virus reactivates later in life, often triggered by stress or a weakened immune system.

Now for my take… this ‘dormant chickenpox virus’ is present in probably every American kid. Why did it hit Justin?

Simple… a weakened neurological system.

Now the question is… “what weakened his neurological system?”

Is all of this from his braces?

Justin Bieber had braces during his early teens, around 2011-2012, when he was rising to fame.

It seems like he wore traditional metal braces for approximately a year.

And prior to that Bieber had relatively straight teeth so the decision to get braces seems to have been part of his image refinement as his career accelerated, rather than addressing a significant dental issue.

This was him in 2010 prior to the braces. So what exactly were the braces for? And what did they do with those braces?

I think those are key questions to the whole mystery. Because if they moved the molars around then that is a very important clue that his curve of spee was most likely impacted a fair bit.

Also note that as a child, despite all of the stresses of fame at a young age, he did not seem to ever have any scandals pre-2012. He was just a good kid.

So why did this good kid start acting all reckless almost immediately after the braces?

Was it just normal teenagehood and the temptations of being a star?

I don’t think it was.

He’s a complex case study

From a physical standpoint in the years after the braces he seemingly developed pretty well. He had a good profile, pretty good body, etc.

So it’s definitely not a clear case of collapse from a physical standpoing, though I do think you see signs of the body twisting more in recent years.

Rather I have a feeling the collapse that occurred impacted his skull and brain more than anything else. Because of questions like:

• why would someone so young and with good structure develop a neurological condition?

• why did he struggle with substance abuse?

• why is he prone to these emotional and mental health difficulties?

And yes some of you are going to be yelling at me… “He is a star! All stars go through some version of this!”

But I do think that there are plenty of childhood stars that did not go through nearly as much as Justin has gone through, particularly in terms of neurological disease and substance abuse.

So did he just have shitty luck? hmmm

Relating my experience with alcohol

I’ve talked before about how when my biomechanics were compromised, I found myself increasingly reliant on alcohol to relax.

In late 2019, I was drinking every night 3-4 glasses of beer and/or whisky – just to calm my system. As I corrected my dental biomechanics, this dependence vanished without any conscious effort on my part.

Today, the mere thought of drinking alcohol revolts me for some reason. Even while on vacation. I don’t know why. It is as if my body is just saying… “get away from me with that shit.”

And so I might have one beer every few weeks, with no desire for more.

This mirrors Bieber's documented struggles with substance use, which may be his body's way of coping with the inward collapse of the skull that is occurring.

Closing thoughts

Some people say that I use these stories of public figures to sell Reviv.

In my mind I do not. I use them to relate to folks better because many of you know the stories of public figures like Bieber.

And so you start re-examine their history with a different lens. A lens of biomechanincal collapse perhaps being at the foundation.

When I do this I find it’s like I start to see how the puzzle fits together finally.

It’s not just that Bieber couldn’t hack the stardom that he’d grown up with… rather it’s that some physical shit that he didn’t understand started hitting him like a ton of bricks.

And he had to withstand it all while in the public eye.

I know if I had to deal with the shit i’ve gone thru the past 10 years in the public eye… it would be stressful as hell.

And so I can only imagine what it’s like to be in someone like Justin’s shoes.

Maybe he’s singing this song ‘Lonely’ about biomechanical collapse and doesn’t even know it.
