you should do a write up on SAM SHEPARD who died from some terrible neurological disorder. he had his original teeth redone a decade or so before being diagnosed. so sad. terrific writer.
So essentially braces set you up for these problems? How about something like a single capped tooth (to 'fix' a chipped molar)? My wife had braces as an adult and I have a capped molar--I definitely have issues you point out in your articles, wondering if something like that is at the heart of it.
Thanks for the response. Since I can't undo the cap, I hope the mouth guard can accommodate the situation. So far it seems to be heading in that direction.
It's incredible to see the change in his face and very noticeable that his face has collapsed.
Personally, I think his teeth looked fine before.

if the 'fix' changed the occlusion sufficiently to mess up the jaw positions i talk about here: https://www.egkbiomechanics.com/p/indexed-splints-and-the-magical-perfect
then yes it can contribute to some level of collapse
but often a chipped molar is a sign of structural damage that was worsening... and so even before the cap there were prob declining issues going on
