I’m partway through this Mike Mew interview with evolutionary biologist Brett Weinstein:
https://youtu.be/JYpPu-NrYSI who had recently suffered root resorption in some teeth and needed implants put in their place, probably from aggressive childhood orthodontics.
Mike Mew took it a little further and said it’s not aggressive orthodontics that causes resorption, it’s orthodontics in general - putting braces on sometimes teeth AT ALL will cause this problem down the line.
I did a year of braces pre-op before my jaw surgery; I am now 16 months post-op and am still in braces and will be be until the end of the year at the minimum,, which will nearly be 2 years in braces AFTER MY JAW SURGERY.
So my question is, clearly my teeth needed aggressive movement post-op to make up for a s**tty bite result from my jaw surgery, so am I going to be at major risk of losing my teeth down the line?
Who here believe this risk of resorption from braces is real.
