Side note that some dentists mistakenly think the jaw 'rotates' when they use certain splint therapies.

Whereas I have seen these physics in which the soft tissue stretches and you're moving the jaw more like the way i describe in the tennis ball under the rug metaphor.

It is for this reason that i lay the gauntlet down to any dentist out there who thinks I am wrong.

I will take this further than you ever will with any of your patients.

And i will get more consistent results for folks with my method than you will with yours.

For the simple reason that I have understood the exact mechanism by which this shit 'ends'. And you have not.

This really challenges what many people think about aesthetics and aging. What’s the next step for making this idea more than just a blog experiment? Are there plans to spread awareness with actual clinical studies or research collaborations? I’d be fascinated to see where this could go.

I want to break the normal conventions.

No clinical studies, no research collaborations... at least none driven by me.

I have a paid community with close to 100 people now that grows by ~5 a day. Many keep journals that i track and comment on.

We're gonna do this a bit more like Mewing than conventional medicine. Mewing has blown up on social media (10bn+ tiktok views) and probably millions that have tried 'mewing'.

The beautiful thing about this Reviv approach is that they cannot stop people from putting a rubber mouthguard in their mouth.

So we don't need anyone's approval. Hundreds of sellers sell rubber mouthguards on Amazon. It's not even considered a 'medical' appliance.

I wrote about the philosophy here: https://reviv.substack.com/p/im-gonna-play-my-game

So zero plans on embracing the medical community for now. Because i dont need them.

And there are many parts of the current system.. i want to help destroy.

For better or worse.. the past 10 years has turned me into a person that has very little respect for doctors and dentists.

But a lot of respect for the power of social media as a tool.

And so that's the game you can expect me to play.

Well Kenny you’ve covered a lot and I’m going to address the double chin issue. I think I already told you but I’d like other people to know maybe they can relate. I think I was about 39 and I’ve never been heavy and I had some actually I don’t know exactly the age I was, but I had some back molars either root canal or fillings or whatever so the funny thing was I remember, looking in the mirror and looking at my profile and seeing I had a little double chin where I never had and through a series of events, I realized that when I was biting down for my back teeth to o contact my lowers I was having to pull my lower jaw back and my uppers slightly forward giving me a profile of a somewhat weak or receded chin also a little double chin. I remember actually sitting by myself playing around with my bite. You know overbite, underbite like a Pekingese dog fooling around , that’s when I became aware that my fillings were too high. Went back to the dentist, bit on that paper where it showed where he had to drill. That was it no more double chin. Self awareness is key in what Ken is doing and this whole repositioning and inflating. I don’t really GET it yet I’m stealing Ken’s words (sound like I get it) haha. Structural collapse I get that

yes self awareness is key to doing this stuff faster!

You need to learn to feel what the rubber guard is doing.

How the jaw is moving under the soft tissue.

Carol how did you figure out they should drill?

Thank you to the author and commenters, I’m looking forward to digging into this further.

Your theories are fascinating, and you back them with logic.

10 years ago I was very overweight, double chin, snored at night, unwell, sang professionally.

I lost weight, lost double chin, stopped snoring, and developed a life-threatening illness. I lost more weight and recovered to a good state of health - but lost my voice. I can talk but can no longer sing.

Thank you Lynda.

Yes i've seen this pattern a lot... people focus on losing weight and so go on extreme diets.

And they lose the weight and 'think' they are healthy b/c that is what society tells us.

But then they come down with other more serious health issues and realize it doesnt exactly work that way.

I dont focus at all on weight and am of the very strong belief that if you focus on structure... weight takes care of itself to ensure you feel healthy

So, what exactly did you do at night? How can a reader replicate your results?

EGK's avatar

i talk about options here https://reviv.substack.com/p/how-to-solve-the-problem

basically any rubber mouth guard works. Make sure it's not fitted to the teeth as teeth need to move

Can you teach the "fast method"? I would sign up for that even if it requires long term maintenance

I'm big into how it impacts speaking voice.. but have concluded that the biggest changes come when u actually stretch the soft tissue i talk about and put the structures back into correct position.

It is why u will generally see that models can easily talk in a loud crowded bar and be heard without stressing their voice. Resonance is solid when structures in correct place.

I wrote an article earlier about the voice.
