Episode notes
Replace Missing Molars With Biocompatible Implants
- Replace missing molars with biocompatible implants (e.g., zirconia) when needed to preserve bite balance.
- Stabilize opposing teeth to prevent super-eruption and consequent postural effects.
Try A Standing Flat Night Splint
- Use a flat nylon night splint adjusted standing to provide dental sensory feedback for postural change.
- Wear minimal night-only splints and combine them with shoe and breathing work for best results.
Get Vision Checked By A Behavioral Optometrist
- See a behavioral optometrist for refraction and vision-function testing, not just acuity charts.
- Test vision while standing and in natural contexts; correct overprescription and peripheral deficits first.
