your bite

[Guest guest]

Doc Walt,

Certainly, all that is true. But the initiating cause of the 'bracing' is the

irregularity of the bite relationship. The average dentist is 'trained' to

fill teeth, but not really 'educated' on proper bite relationships. When

the upper and lower teeth don't integrate properly, one reflexly,grinds,

clenches, and braces - and this experience is aggravated by the

hypoglycemia.

There is a growing number of dentists aware of this - and it becomes

essential for individuals who want to save their teeth - and composure -

to find one who does have information and uses it correctly.

We discuss a major cause for this abnormal bite relationship in our

book, Healthy Teeth for KIDS, published by Kensington and available

at bookstores or Amazon.com See the zeevkolman website below

for more on this.
