Please don't do this...

About young influencers and celebrities having their teeth ground down to stumps and all risks involved. We see Katie Price a.k.a. Jordan posting photos of this on social media.

Please share this and make people think before having such damaging therapy.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS SOME CONFUSION AMONGST THE SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS AS TO WHAT CROWNS AND VENEERS ARE. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS WELL BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS. ANY UNNECESSARY TOOTH GRINDING IS BAD AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

It is rare for me to recommend traditional orthodontics, however if there is only mild crowding (which is normally the case in these individuals) then a little expansion is far better than veneers or crowns on teeth. And if mild this is rarely retractive.

I strongly suggest braces on the upper jaw only, possibly with a little slimming of the teeth. Or possibly having "Thins", very thin veneers which only cover the teeth with no/minimal damage to them.

Ideally people should change their function and posture to match, or even have treatments such as hybrid orthotropics. However, this destruction is madness, people need their teeth.

If there are any other topics you want us to cover please let us know.

As a general rule neither Prof or Dr Mew have time to engage in the comments section, their focus must be to gain as much real change and scientific engagement as possible, and this would otherwise consume all their time. If you want to engage with Prof John Mew or Dr Mike Mew on this or other topics then follow these links (if you want a personal opinion on your situation then please book an on-line consultation at https://orthodontichealth.co.u....k/book-a-consultatio

This channel is part of the International Association of Facial Growth Guidance. A nonprofit organisation which aims to raise awareness of alternative orthodontic methods and ideas, which too few people are informed of.

The main aim of the platform is to precipitate debate on why teeth are crooked. Most people are not aware that (in most cases) the dental profession has little or no idea why the teeth are crooked, or for that matter why children need major surgery. Clearly there are genetic issues, however the science is clear, the weight of quality research papers, in respected peer reviewed journals, show that our modern lifestyle is a more important factor and most importantly we can do something about this.

This is especially important as sleep apnoea, TMD, forward head posture and a most otolaryngology problems are implicated as other symptoms of the same underlying problem.

This channel also acts as a forum to make openly, speculative suggestions, to find common ground with other professionals (in both related and seemingly unrelated fields), educated lay people and members of the public at large, to either support or detract on the information provided, but either way engage in the scientific process. In the pursuit of the truth it is normal in science to make speculative comments which may not have full scientific support, and we welcome feedback and discussion.

Orthotropics essential means straight or correct growth. If your faces grows well it tends to work well. The concept is based on the Tropic Premise; https://youtu.be/BPa6KKj-vr0

The underlying pathology of malocclusion and the related symptoms is referred to as Craniofacial Dystrophy;
