Executive Summary
Tinnitus can be bothersome and painful. There are many documented associations between dental procedures and certain forms of tinnitus, sleep problems, periodontal conditions and TMD (temporomandibular joint [TMJ] dysfunction) disorders. The eerily similar increases since the 1980’s in those with tinnitus and those who have had traditional or aligner orthodontics appears to be more than a coincidence. Further exploration would be a sound idea.
Undesirable bite forces can create and amplify tinnitus episodes. An integral design component of revisionist intraoral sequential aligner care is moving teeth to gradually reduce reverberations, making them less perceptible, and less likely to trigger tinnitus.
While still early, reports that some with tinnitus, TMD and sleep problems have experienced improvement merits considering the revisionist sequential dental aligner therapy when it is believed it could be beneficial.
Executive Summary
The healthcare ecosystem needs to ponder the significance and ramifications of the tinnitus-dentistry relationship. Dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, mental health professionals and PCPs would be wise to proactively embrace methods that could slow and eventually reverse the meteoric rise in tinnitus.
Executive Summary
If you or someone you care about is dealing with primary, persistent, or bothersome tinnitus, that will hopefully change one day.
Dozens of peer-reviewed articles note the existence of a connection between dental care (TMD, orthodontics [braces, aligners and retainers], fillings, crowns, implants) and tinnitus. It is possible that delving deeper into their interrelationship may one day lead to a cure.
Executive Summary
This report will describe the unexpectedly wonderful life-altering experience for a woman who for more than 46 years, starting as a 3-year-old, suffered every day dealing with internal, private sounds. Tinnitus is not classified as a disease and it lacks a long-term remedy.
The connection between tinnitus and dentistry and orthodontics and TMD and sleep must be prudently explored. It is hoped that novel twists on popular procedures will lead to internal noise reducing remedies that will be embraced by medical professionals.
Executive Summary
Tinnitus can be bothersome, painful and currently has no cure. Its near meteoric rise over the past 40 years shows no signs of slowing down. An eerily similar rise in the number who received orthodontic care could turn out to be more than a coincidence. That revelation may eventually offer an explanation as to why so many struggle with tinnitus.
It has been known for a while that undesirable bite forces can create and amplify tinnitus episodes. Prudently programmed tooth movements in an intraoral sequential aligner treatment can gradually reduce reverberations to the point where they become barely perceptible. The potential relationship between orthodontic treatment and tinnitus merits further exploration.
