sorry for the site being down, it has been fixed.
Progress Update
The implants for the 4 bicuspid extraction has healed over nicely and now they are ready for crowns.
I got the 4 crowns made, but upon getting them actually integrated with the implants, we realized that on the upper right, there was a lot of gum tissue which made the crown in that particular area look unnatural.
The extra gum tissue caused the crown to be shorter than the teeth nearby.
It was because I spoke out about this concern that the dentist decided to redo the crowns.
I went to a periodontist to get the gums re-scuplted, which they did last week. They just took just a little bit off the gum near the implant, and I go in for the check up later this week to see if we are ready for the crowns.
If it wasn’t for the issue of too much excess gum in this particular area, I would of had 4 crowns in and full smile by now, but this is delaying the final result just several more weeks.
again the lesson is, don’t always rely on the doctors, if you have a concern about the looks or whatever it is. Bring it up and let it be known.
Upon review, the periodontist did agree that the excess gum in that area would cause the crown to not look as aesthetic as it should because instead of the nice U arch where the teeth comes out of the gums, it was more or less flat.
Neck Posture Exercise
Mike Mew approves the above video, it’s basically the same chin tuck exercise he teaches but taught by different teacher. I have already been doing this and I made some big improvements in head posture and relief of chronic neck pain, one thing I didn’t realize until this video was that I was beginning to engage and strengthen the neck muscles to support the correct head posture.
When I stand and look at my self in the mirror from the side, I do notice that the neck is not slanting forward like it used to, the shoulders are not as rounded and the neck is much straighter relative to the back.
There’s definite changes taking place in posture which is more than half the battle.
Jaw Changes?
I do believe I continue to see my maxilla move forwards as time goes on.
I believe the most significant importance for this is to remember to keep the mouth shut, and our jaw muscles getting more and more used to keeping closed & tighter.
I have heard Dr. John Mew say numerous times that the top importance is to making sure the child remembers to keep their mouth closed.
above picture illustrates what can happen to the jaw when it is kept close.
Keeping the jaw closed most of the times, means you need good muscle tone.
Addressing the muscle tone is addressing the underlying cause of malocclusion and facial dystrophy
It is not yet quite understood how much can be affected in adults.
Hopefully soon I will go back to my orthodontist, and show you closer picture of how much my palate has expanded in the last 3 years since I begun this journey.
There is a significant different in size and shape.
If that much can change in the palate, just by light constant pressure, then why not other parts of the face by going from weak jaw muscle to much stronger ones?
Great article once again, will we be able to see pictures of the final result? In my opinion it would greatly encourage people to take this more seriously.
Also, I had extraction orthodontics, could strengthening jaw muscles and tongue posture somehow reopen the bicuspid spaces? Thanks
Yeah I wanted to ask the same question.
Claiming Power, plz tell us , when will we see pictures of your progress?
its in the membership section
Hi Claiming Power, I want to thank you for posting your journey. It has inspired me to begin my own reversal after my health and appearance problems following biscuspid extraction and retraction. I would like to ask if you feel your face is now returned to how it was pre-bicuspid extractions?
Hey sorry, but whenevr i tuck my chin it makes my face look alot longer. Can u help me please? Thank you
Is that you in the first photo? When do we get to see your face?
Man… This stuff is great.. Been following and watching Mike mews videos..
Gonna subsricbe soon !
However.. since you seem quite vel informed Id like to ask you a question regarding my own teeth.
I have crowed teeth and crooked teeth .. And about 1 year ago I got 2 wisdom teeth removed, because of cavaties.. sadly.. and now Im getting the other side fixed, mostly because there has started to form cavaties because its so bad located, so i cant brush the dam teeth properly.. So I guess I have no choice but to get them removed..
But my question is.. I want to get my teeth straightent.. My orthodontist in Denmark, says I can get it done with invisalign in 2 years time.. the price is around 9.000 USD. Abit pricey in Denmark..
Now, with your knowledge, would you say that I should skip it? and start chewing the shit out of gum instead while keeping my mouth closed and teeth almost touching and resting the tounge on the roof?
Anyways.. Great site and im sooo happy i stumbled across it!
Have you considered treatment with Mike? Flying from Kastrup to Gatwick and then take train to purley isn’t that long a trip or pricey travel wise (in relative terms).
And btw, Im 25 years old male. š
HI Claiming
As People said before it would nice to see some progress pictures.
I’m not a member of your community but I think many people will enty your community if you show us some progress pictures or even results of your journey for free.
I really want to use those chewing gums but I have a wire behind the teeth in my mandibula.
My orthodontic therapy was years ago. I think like 8 years or something but the orthodontic said to me I can use the wire and it will hep me that my teeth won’t change negative
can you help?
Glad to see your site is backup. Do you know about http://www.righttogrow.org ?
They are a “community of people seeking change within the orthodontic industry”
Is it possible to have a strong jaw but a weak chin at the same time? For instance, if I were to start chewing gum would that push the maxilla forward or no?
we hope you answer us, claiming.
we hold a lot on you.
Hi CP
I would like to buy a months membership, with my previously used username, which the website won’t let me do. I have tried emailing your gmail address twice with no response. . . Reply greatly appreciated.
Hey man. I got a serious question.
Ive’ been on a serious roll lately my oral posture is on point and i can literally feel my cheekbones and maxilla moving forward giving me that sean opry face ive been going for. (I have the look, minus the nose and cheekbones.)
Anyways, everytime i have gone to sleep my tongue has always somehow ended up falling back(except for once, and that day my maxilla actually hurt, and i could breath 2x better through my nose) and i have woken up feeling uglier than before.
But cutting out the humour. I want to know the perfect resting/sleeping posture that will keep the perfect oral posture with ease, so i could wake up looking like Francisco lachowski every morning.
What do you recommend? What has dr. Mike Mew said about this? Pillow or No pillow?
Srry for the long read. Lol
Hello, I was just wondering as i have regularly went to the dentist and am 17 and have never had any work done is this a good thing for me? U
