Interesting information, Ken! How do you believe tooth loss or removal affects this process? An orthodontist removed all 4 premolars (directly behind my eyeteeth) when I was 12, due to crowding (with the expectation that I'd get braces, which I ended up refusing to go with). At 19, my wisdoms were removed. About 10 years back, I lost another tooth that had cracked, due to excessive grinding during grand mal seizures. I also had my amalgam fillings replaced, after my seizures stopped, 5 years ago. My back teeth don't feel like they "work" together anymore, and I notice certain words are harder to pronounce, almost like how anesthesia or frozen lips make a person talk. I ordered your appliance, and am looking forward to seeing what changes I get to experience!
Teeth loss is perhaps one of the biggest triggers of the flattening of the curve of spee.
Basically when you lose teeth the others move and reposition. And during that repositioning, the curve of spee will often flatten.
If you go to TMJ facebook groups there are tons of horror stories that people have posted over the years after having had major extractions. Changes in the face, illnesses, etc.
I def think the appliance will help you. Did you also join the community? As i think this will be a longer-term fix for you if you had seizures..
Thanks Ken yes I keep checking the tracking and it not changed since last Thursday just still saying that they have it. Hopefully it will update soon I am so excited about it arriving and using it. I have been trying some jaw exercises stretching in all directions 🤞👍
Interesting thought but have you tested this theory on someone else (or a group of people)? If so, what kind of results did you see, and how consistent were they?
I fixed my flat feet. I used inserts which did not work.
Finally, what worked was going barefoot (or shoes with virtually no padding underneath, new market out there, example vibram 5 finger shoes).
Walk on the balls of your feet, without your heels touching. Do this progressively longer each walk. I built up to jogging 10 km (6 miles) without my heels touching.
When I stepped on those insert machines, it mapped my feet. Before, I was fully flat. After, I had a beautiful arch. Pain is also gone.
Turns out, walking the way we were meant to walk, as well as jogging, heals flat feet.
I can just imagine my dentist saying, 'One orthodontic treatment and your feet will thank you!' Feels like we might be skipping over a few key steps in anatomy... anyone else with flat feet want to weigh in on this?

Another great post 👍
thanks.. btw i just checked skool and saw you hadnt accepted the invite.
Did you get the invite from skool and onboarding email that i sent to your email at the end of last week?
I think my skull is caving in 🤣I just found it 👍🙏
Don’t worry hopefully it will arrive soon 🤞

the 3pl needed to update tracking on a bunch of orders from last week. Their system screwed up something
ill try to get the new tracking numbers out soon
I don’t have the invite? Or I can’t find it. Was it from revive ?
Can you send again or WhatsApp me? Btw do you have any idea how long it takes to the uk for the mouthguard I am really excited about using it 😀
usually to the uk is 7-10 days…. there should be a tracking link in the order confirmation email that will update you as to where it is
No I will check my junk and let you know 🤞
By this logic, fixing my feet should fix my teeth. By the way I'm a big fan of holistic approaches, but the logic here is... questionable.
Fixing the feet will change the bite.
But unless you do something like wear a rubber mouthguard... you won't hold those changes as teeth will move back to the old occlusion.
Reviv Group using this stuff is ~100 now... i guess they'll say whether it works or not

I would say that this test is happening now as flat feet hasnt been the primary complaint of anyone in my first test group.
But i have flattened and then unflattened my feet multiples in the past decade so im pretty confident it works like this.
Also my son's arches have developed considerably since putting composite on his teeth in late 2021.

Nobody said anything about 'one orthodontic treatment'
More like wearing a rubber mouthguard for months and perhaps years... and seeing and feeling daily changes.
This stuff takes time. If i misled anyone about that... let me be very clear.
Hi there. The rubber mouth guard that you mentioned, I assume that it has to be a custom-made one to fit my dental profile correct?
no. custom fit = bad as it locks the teeth into a position.
almost any rubber mouthguard that is not fitted is fine.
i sell one for $25 (incl shipping) on www.getreviv.com that is generally better than what u will find on amazon.
But if u wanna spend a bit more u can get a myobrace a1 on aliexpress and its a bit better than mine.
my Reviv Two should be better than the myobrace a1. But its not out yet
Thanks. I’ll give your product a try.
