At 47 yrs old I will achieve perfect health and a perfect body 'around' the end of this year while having sat on my ass and done zero exercise for 4+ years
I have been a FB friend of Ken for the last 10 years and I know his passion on helping people and their bite. He went through multiple appliances himself and I followed him quite a bit including the time he visited foreign dentists. I am so glad he put all this together. We are definitely living in practical times when we work on solving solutions and not trust a doctor or dentist blindly. Ken is the type of person that helps dentists improve their method if they are good listeners.
Because TMJ problems can cause so many issues (I know from experience although mine are bone on bone now so have settled down), there is a fear of changing something that makes it worse. All the appliances and techniques for improving bites have this quality where they help some people and make others worse.
Can you tell us how many people have tried this technique and reported they'd gotten worse, and whether that reversed if they stopped?
Off the top of my head i dont think a single person out there will truly say that they got worse.
But if they are out there they can chime in and correct me.
A handful 'thought' they were getting worse early on and posted to this effect on our community. But they got thru it and i believe they're all still doing Reviv and making progress at this point.
A couple of people did indeed stop the process because they didnt like the gum irritation or headaches and stuff. But i dont consider that 'getting worse'. I consider that part of the process.
And this is against a backdrop of having probably somewhere in the vicinity of 3000-4000 people that purchased a Reviv.
I would not have started this business if i thought there was a true chance of someone getting worse. Because quite honestly there would have been more liability than upside.. and i dont need that headache.
How does your mouth guard work for clenchers? I don’t grind. I clench. I do sleep with a mouth guard on (one that just sits on the bottom teeth as the standard ones I end up just giving myself a headache). I’ve been following you for a bit and am super interested but want to make sure this is a potential help for those of us who hold on for dear life while we sleep lol. Mind you I also do facial and neck massage when I’m stressed to further alleviate the chance of too much clenching but I still sleep with a mouth guard regardless. TIA and if I missed a post about clenching would love to read it
Clenching is a good topic.. ill try to write up my current frame of thought on it sometime.
Generally i'm very confident that this will help you. But I don't have deep experience yet with clenchers as i wasnt one myself.
I do think there are a few folks doing Reviv now that have mentioned they're clenchers. And i believe they wear the appliance down a bit faster.
A rubber guard like Reviv will be better than one that is fitted to the bottom teeth because bottom teeth need to be allowed to move with this process.
Did anyone else have trouble getting their payment through? My debit card was blocked and even PayPal blocked my payment ( I tried to send the payment directly from my bank account). Any advice? Ken has tried to work with me but I don't see where to go from here.
I think you make a very compelling agreement, incredibly interesting. I’m on board!

Way to go! Keep it up, brother in bite :)
Thanks Samira :)

Note that headaches are part of the recovery process as i've written here: https://reviv.substack.com/p/headaches-are-part-of-the-process
And i wouldnt be surprised if the headaches you mentioned are actually good headaches. You just need to power thru them.
A lady from my first group in 2023 with brain fog had headaches almost daily for several months... but then she got rid of her brain fog.
Thanks for the reply. Look forward to reading the article once it’s done
I am so grateful to have found your work!
thank you :)
Excellent as always I can’t wait for my revive mouthguard to arrive hopefully soon 🤞
Wow
Is it an uphill battle for us wisdom-tooth removers?
no, not at all.
just wear a rubber guard and things will space out more and more
Did you have to fix the teeth that dentist altered or is the reviv mouth guard enough to do the trick?
Reviv moves the teeth to where the skull wants them over time. No need to do anything else in my view
Very good news! Thanks
