anything that will hold a dental drill bit. Important part is to use a dental drill bit. Those are quite cheap

can you explain little bit on how reviv fixes the curve pf spee. i mean will it literally pull of the molar from the low arch to meet the upper one. In my case i had a 3d scan, which shows that my upper molars at the end are up but the molars on one side making a downward curve of spee which is giving me tmj. one my other side the curve if spee is pretty good no jaw clicking there. how reviv gonna fix this problem the downward curve in while upper molar are on right place. Thank you

you're taking a very tooth-centric interpretation of this which is how dentists look at it. They imagine just reshaping the teeth to have more curve of spee.

That does not thing.

Im looking at it different.

The curve of spee we create with reviv is not going to be supported by your existing teeth yet. Rather the upper teeth are gonna start to hang over the lower teeth with a slight posterior open bite as the curve improves.

Reviv fixes the curve of spee by stretching the soft tissue and changing the actual skeleton and skull.

okay i see so you saying that that our skeleto,bone and tmj postioning is changing with this not at teeth level. We have to fix teeth later by the dentist. But we have to fix it and dental lvl asap otherwise use the splint forever right? and if is revive bringing the lowerjaw forward like many myobrace or starecta do. I think it brings forward coz to meet the upper and lower front teeth ypu have to do that cheessy smile.

yes i agree with most of what u wrote here.

but i also think i see it working very different from myobrace (who takes a very teeth and airway centric view) and starecta (who believes in a molar lever and a locked jaw position that i disagree with).

I explain in a bunch of other posts the mechanisms by which i see reviv working so hard for me to repeat it all here

do you need splint and resin or either or? i assume the resin is to make splint but if you order splint on amazon then u don’t need resin?

it is very hard to make your own splint using resin.

Not saying its not possible.. but u need to be really good with dental resin to do it.

I've made a few in the past but they were pretty shitty.

So generally u need both splint (from amazon) + resin (to add height to it)

Do you have any recommendations on how to get the cold cure resin? Not really sure where to go from here.

I have polymorph, could that work the same way?

depends on where you are. In the US you need to test b2b dental wholesalers. There are some websites where you could order.

Sometimes u need to fake that u are a dentist.

Polymorph wont allow u to make a tracking splint as u cannot drill contacts in the same way. Its not accurate enough.

But u can still make a flat plane splint just fine

Ok, thanks Ken. I'll keep looking into this to see what I can find.

I'm sure I read about this somewhere but my brain is so full, haha! Where can I get a flat plane splint I can wear on my bottom teeth to get started? Is that something I need to have a dentist make?

I just found this video you made 😃. Is the flat plane splint something I could make?

yes u can make a flat splint with polymorph. But cant really use polymorph as the 'tracking splint' as its too inaccurate to drill polymorph

Would you be able to make a video on how you do this process? I can see the important value in doing this.
