Haha

I wrote an article on my views of the mews.

I know of them since 2015.

I think they have a flawed understanding of how this works and it’s why mike used an expander that gave a kid neurological symptoms.

Which mike lost his dental license for

Why would an expander cause neurological symptoms? It’s pretty common to widen the palate in children.

yes i know its pretty common..

so are braces and invisalign which i also consider very damaging

Not gonna lie, this sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi parenting manual: 'Start your 2-year-old on dental composite for model-level beauty by age 15!' 😂

But I’m curious—how do you think this intersects with more natural approaches like Mewing? Did you feel like those methods just didn’t work long enough to stick with before moving to composite?

Weird i thought i responded yesterday but now i dont see it.

I talk a bit about the mews here: https://reviv.substack.com/p/my-take-on-the-mews

Mewing simply doesn’t work at all if a person is locked into a very set occlusion and isn’t wearing a rubber mouthguard.

Also note that the Mews and I agree on some elements as they give a myobrace to some of their patients.. which is essentially the same as a Reviv One.

And i 100% disagree on their use of palate expanders like the Biobloc which i think John Mew hiimself invented and promotes.

I believe the biobloc is the reason mike gave a kid seizure-like issues and had his dental license taken a few years ago https://reviv.substack.com/p/mike-mews-court-case-why-did-it-happen?utm_source=publication-search
