I can see jaw problems causing psychological issues.
But I'm not convinced that it's a result of skull pressure, as far as I know, that can be tested for, and ultimately, I don't see how moving the teeth and jaw around would deflate the skull.
Also skull pressure causes symptoms consistent with autism and ocd.
My own hypothesis is that it relates to the nerves which travel through and around the jaw.
As you mentioned, TMJ can cause balance issues and confusion, it can also disrupt heart rhythm and breathing rate.
There are also glands in the neck and throat which can affect mood. Jaw and neck tension caused by poor positioning of the jaw could lower blood circulation and cause glandular disorders.
This would mean that many of the people getting the orthodontics would have had problems anyway, but the corrections made the issue worse by failing to address the root cause.
Spinal posture alone can make a large difference to mood and improve jaw positioning.
I believe the fundamental issue is that people aren't chewing hard foods often enough, instead favouring soft heavily processed goods.
As a result their jaw muscles do not get enough exercise leading to muscle atrophy and poor jaw posture.
This also impacts bone and joint development. Since the bite force is a principal element in straightening the teeth and widening the jaw.
As a result, the jaw is too narrow to fit all the teeth, leading to inappopriate pressure, overcrowding and a wisdom tooth that can press against nearby nerves, sometimes causing intense pain.
As I understand it, when the jaw is relaxed, it naturally applies a considerable bite force, which is why it clamps down hard in several conditions including death.
So, people who "mouth breathe" are holding the jaw open continuously, often unconsciously, because their jaw isn't closing properly, or because their nose is perpetually clogged.
The nose clogging in my experience is a result of overbreathing and allergies. Both of which can generally be addressed with regular exercise and apnea training.
Contrary to popular opinion, allergies can be cured.
It should also be noted that many cardiovascular illnesses and heart diseases are correlated with dental problems.
Differences in orthodontic theory should be added to this discussion as in orthognathic vs purely esthetic purposes. There is also the fact that people who have unattractive teeth suffer socially.
It was a bit technical, but I was able to get through it. Remarkable the extent to which cosmetic dentistry can have major health impacts years downstream—such latency has made causal relationships difficult to establish
I haven’t had any orthodontics done, is that why I remain fit and studly besides getting up in my years? I can keep up and fit as active duty Marines despite my having left active duty almost 30 years ago.
After you experience the dental<>mental health connection yourself multiple times and i can prob count at least 30-40 people i personally know who would tell u the same thing happened to them... it's more than a hypothesis.
~100 in my community of which many are keeping journals that i read weekly.
I'm gonna prove everything. Don't worry.
Just give another 6 months or so. We're gonna show some shit that is gonna rock this world.
But dont get me wrong.. i'm not going to do some type of research study. Just real people getting real results. And sharing it.
And for all the folks that think you need to prove stuff via research or proper studies... my view would be that stuff just works very differently these days when u understand social media.
Ask how many people have tried 'Mewing' at this point.
I'd guess its easily in the millions.
Then ask.. "But where is the scientific study that proves that it works?"
I’m from the UK and we have always marvelled at how great your teeth are in the US. We assumed you all got braces at school. My 2 sisters both had braces growing up but I didn’t. They both have health issues and mobility issues. I’m concerned after reading your articles because my 12 year old daughter is about to get fitted for braces. Is this something I should allow and then just watch for physical and mental health issues later in life?
I am in Toronto, I rarely agree w doctors or dentists, actually have two goals… become my own doc (done), banker (in progress), maybe I will add this slant as well. 😆
Lupus is essentially autoimmune: the immune system is hyperactive and therefore attacks its own cells. An easy fix would be to reboot system: immunomodulators and change of diet.
Your theory has to have a controlled group experiment. Celebrities are almost all a certain brain type: Front right brainers, who have poor diet choices. Diet can account for bad oral health: bacteria and candida, which essentially reach the brain and affects mental health.
Also i fully agree with teh controlled group experiment. But that right there is the whole reason why i started this business, Reviv.
We already have close to 100 that signed up for the support system + community and i'm tracking quite a number of people's journals as they go thru the process now.
People age, dude. Some do it more gracefully than others. Some of those who don't do it gracefully will have had braces. So what? Do some rigorous mathematical statistics or get the hell out of here.
I’m not sure I buy the ‘always orthodontics’ idea. Famous people without braces have also faced similar health or mental challenges.
How do you account for those cases where there is no orthodontic intervention to blame? Seems like a broader issue than just teeth.
Who went from being in great shape to falling apart physically and mentally in their prime that did not do something to their teeth?
I havent seen a good example yet.
But ive seen plenty that did do something to their teeth.
When you are checking how your dental contacts change on a tracking splint daily as i described here https://reviv.substack.com/p/a-tracking-splint-is-the-compass
You start to realize how tight the relationship is between your occlusion and changes in your body.
And if u destabilize your bite with ortho... you are prob in for a shitstorm at some point.

Pun intended.
To me i openly say the ‘why’ is a black box.
I just know it happens because i experimented on a tracking splint for years as i discuss here: https://reviv.substack.com/p/a-tracking-splint-is-the-compass?utm_source=publication-search
ie. when spine & skull improved the curve of spee improved. My mental health, cognitive function, neurology improved.
when curve flattened all those things worsened.
I repeated this quite a number of times over a period of years. Not intentionlly though hahah
Indeed, I would expect so.

Most likely for all the same reasons.

Brilliant again
thanks!
This is a stretch because he's not examining a cross section of the population but celebrities.. Celebrities always have mental health issues.
I was reading about Angelina Jolie yesterday, apparently she had braces too!
yes just checked.. she did.
But if u see the images of her with the braces on.. her arches were already quite wide.
So it didn't need to 'expand' her much/if any and most likely focused more on her front teeth (which dont really impact curve of spee much)

I havent read this book but have heard things like this about root canals many times..
It was a bit technical, but I was able to get through it. Remarkable the extent to which cosmetic dentistry can have major health impacts years downstream—such latency has made causal relationships difficult to establish
oh sometimes the latency is only a year or so... ive seen some very fast collapse with the combo of bicuspid extractions and braces.
Ugh

Well you will have aged far better/slower than someone that did ortho.
Because ortho would have destabilized the teeth and their curve of spee (which i explain in a different article) will have flattened far faster.
Braces leads to mental illness? Not being funny but, is that the hypothesis here?
Follow any large TMJ forum on Reddit or Facebook groups for awhile... and you will see that connection very clearly
But i've also experienced it myself and talk about it here https://reviv.substack.com/p/this-is-likely-at-the-root-cause?utm_source=publication-search

im sure o that shit.
It's a straight-forward statistical question, dude. So do the statistics and demonstrate it formally. You don't do serious research on Reddit.
I am.
150+ have bought Reviv at this point.

i recommend putting a rubber mouthguard on your 12 year old and dropping the braces

Thank you so much.
As a medium sized adult do I order a small or large?
large is better. Small is more for teens/kids
I'm trying to decide between a bridge or zirconia implant to replace a root canal I finally had removed. Any thoughts?
i dont like giving dental advice…. but generally id say stick to principles in which:
1- you are not locking an occlusion (ie. keep things flat so bite doesnt have a fixed position)
2- don’t lock multiple teeth together the way a bridge does as teeth need to be able to move
If you don't mind sharing, why did you have your root canal removed?
What do you recommend, both my sons had braces and now that bracket in upper palate. They are 26 and 23.
Take off any retainer.
A rubber mouthguard at night and a few hours during the day.
Potentially flat composite on back 2 lower teeth on either side (if u can find a dentist willing to do it for you)
I have found a functional dentist downtown, would he know what you mean by that?
Dentists often call them 'turbos' so if u say that they might understand.
Alf dentists often prop their patients up on turbos to allow the upper arch to expand.
Sometimes when putting braces they do this too.
Can the upper arch expand at any age or is it true just children
any age.. but it needs to be done via the soft tissue in my view.
for example this is just 9 months of myobrace use by an adult female that was in my group years back https://share.cleanshot.com/bHLzk3h9
Yes definitely improvement there is alot of push for mse which is bone bourne for adults... I guess can go wrong as it's screws drilled in
I am in Toronto, I rarely agree w doctors or dentists, actually have two goals… become my own doc (done), banker (in progress), maybe I will add this slant as well. 😆
Flat composite… as in grind them down?
you're adding composite (cement) on top of the tooth. So you're adding height to the bite.
No grinding of the teeth involved. Grinding teeth is always a bad thing in my view.
Composite is the same cement dentists typically use on fillings
Does the composite last a while?
He has examined both my sons, will consult w him re this suggestion. 🙏🏻
good luck.. dentists rarely agree with me :)
The good thing about the last 4 years is... i no longer care. lol
What state are u in? I know one in Texas and potentially Virginia that might be able to help u
She has lupus and renal failure and is on chronic steroids you dope. How is she supposed to look? Jesus
the article is about root cause.... why she has these issues.
Or is the interpretation that everything is always genetic?
Lupus is essentially autoimmune: the immune system is hyperactive and therefore attacks its own cells. An easy fix would be to reboot system: immunomodulators and change of diet.
Your theory has to have a controlled group experiment. Celebrities are almost all a certain brain type: Front right brainers, who have poor diet choices. Diet can account for bad oral health: bacteria and candida, which essentially reach the brain and affects mental health.
fully agree
And yes i'd read a bit about lupus... so id known that it was autoimmune.
But i've also seen how powerful these biomechanics are on the immune system and wrote an article about it: https://reviv.substack.com/p/i-havent-been-sick-in-over-four-years
Also i fully agree with teh controlled group experiment. But that right there is the whole reason why i started this business, Reviv.
We already have close to 100 that signed up for the support system + community and i'm tracking quite a number of people's journals as they go thru the process now.
So this is for sure part of the plan.
Can you please do Tom Cruise?
People age, dude. Some do it more gracefully than others. Some of those who don't do it gracefully will have had braces. So what? Do some rigorous mathematical statistics or get the hell out of here.
i'm going to disagree with you.
This isn't my first rodeo in terms of creating and growing a company... and from what i'm seeing...
I dont need math statistics.
I don't need to 'get out of anywhere.'
I can stay right here.. keep posting.. keep watching this grow... and keep watching people fix their issues.
Some real underpants gnomes thinking here
