REVIV ON fronth Teeth tilted inwards
Did anyone try Reviv having a Class II division II? Aka Front teeth tilted inwards, deep bite and very strong masseters. CHAT GPT told me : -It dosent work in this case because the inwards front teeth block the mandibule back unlike in division I (open bite)where reviv works better. +The thick plastic of a pre-formed guard applies a heavy and intermittent force. Biologically, this causes trauma to the ligament surrounding the tooth (ischemia). The tooth might tip outward, yes, but at the cost of wearing down the root (root resorption) or pushing it out of the alveolar bone, leaving it loose. 2. Masseter relaxation is not automatic if the thickness is excessive It is true that to relax the masseter you need to lift the bite (separate the teeth), but that separation must be precise and measured in millimeters, calculated based on something called your "freeway space" (the natural gap between your teeth when your mouth is at rest). If the thickness of the guard exceeds this space (which almost always happens with generic devices because they are very thick), the masseter doesn't just stretch to relax; it stretches beyond its limit. When a muscle as powerful as the masseter is overstretched for hours (during the night), a defense mechanism called the myotatic reflex is triggered. The muscle panics, and instead of loosening up, it contracts with brutal force. This is why many people wake up with headaches, neck tension, or feeling like they’ve been chewing on rocks all night. Does anyone try Reviv on THIS PARTICULAR maloclusion? Or do you have any opinion about It?thanks
