Technology has improved and enough time has passed also for us to witness and realize the consequences of our life choices. 400 years ago, we thought sugar, processed food, and a more ‘convenient’ yet less natural life-style was better for us. Humanity suffered a quick increase in crooked teeth and dental decay. But now, we know better.
Researches observed these issues arose from the growth and development stage and co-existed with a narrow jaw and narrow airway. This means that the human jaw and airway became underdeveloped due to the above life-style choices, and this became the source of the disease. This tells us how important it is for our children to have an airway-centered evaluation in order to prevent this earlier on. For grown adults, all that used to be available was surgical correction. How else could we change the shape of someone’s jaw bone or walls of the airway structures? Revive has cutting edge non-surgical solutions which are gentle and natural by utilizing orthodontic methods. Below are a few important terms here to understand how simple orthodontic methods can do what we used to think was impossible.
Epigenetics is the study of heritable phenotype changes that do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence. Under the umbrella of this field of study, orthodontic methods which are Biomimetic, emulating models, systems, and elements of nature (our body) to solve complex human disease problems, has been developed. With such methods, we can achieve Pneumopedics, which is the non-surgical method of upper airway remodeling. All of this is done, just by correcting your bite, with the right goal in mind - health.
