what did he say it does?
what for? did the ortho explain why?
Definition on the left size missed completly
please ask him why he wants you to chew, and ask why on incisors
I assume his justification is that chewing with incisors would develop the upper anterior arch upward and forward so as to resolve the overbite which most modern people have to a varying degree, and to create that correct edge-to-edge occlusion which pre-industrial humans commonly had. However, I think this outcome would be better achieved by simply keeping the incisors in contact so that a slight up&forward force vector is constantly being produced against the upper anterior teeth, since as far as I understand, the role of the anterior teeth is not as much masticatory as it is postural (stabilization of jaw-cranium relationship). Furthermore, since the incisors are the very first teeth to erupt, it can be assumed that ideally your occlusion would develop neatly around sustained e2e incisor contact. So if your aim is to reverse-engineer a faulty occlusion, start from the very beginning, i.e. incisor contact, and begin rebuilding the bite from there. Canines will soon follow suit, then premolars (nearly at this stage myself) and finally molars.
impossible for me doe, my incisors cant touch
where do u think she gets it from?Yeah sure, as if she get that gonial angle from chewing gum
Do you have open bite or what?
at this point i really don't know, can i pm you a pic later?
Yep.
the golden word. never trust a foid with anything, especially your or your kids face
So do you recommend chewing on the incisors or not? And if someone has a class 2 with an overjet, wouldn't geting incisors in contact compromise the contact of other teeth?
