I think you make a very compelling agreement, incredibly interesting. I’m on board!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
