ALTERNATIVE TO SURGERY
« on: December 30, 2015, 09:35:52 PM »
Has anyone tried any of these devices that move jaw in a forward position?  I am looking for reason to back out of surgery. Im just too scared and I may be starting a new job only 3 weeks post op.  Here is the link      http://www.wholeyou.com/respire-ef

What is supposed to do?  Dislocate your lower jaw forward as you sleep?

This is nothing more than a plastic Herbst device?

(((( I suppose as the advanced mandible wants to pull back to its original retroposition, the maxilla acts in tandem and experiences the cumulative lifetime effects of this backward pulling force of the jaw muscles.))))

wow very good point! I would not want something to start pulling back my upper face that is in the right position and needs no surgery.  Thanks that helps a lot.

No. Wearing this will make your maxilla go back even further over time and remodel the condyle joints.

Do you like pain and a lifetime of problems? Cause that's what you'll get by using this instead of surgery. Assuming it's the right surgery of course.
