Executive Summary
Over the past few decades, dentists and physicians have seen large increases in visits for orthodontics, sleep disordered breathing (SDB), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder (TMD) and tinnitus that have far exceeded the population growth rate. Peer-reviewed studies suggest that a cause-and-effect relationship exists.
By reducing undesirable forces emanating from the teeth, Revision Aligner Therapy (RevAT) is curbing triggers known to adversely impact SDB, OSA, TMD and tinnitus.
RevAT’s respect for the essential fundamental biomechanical physiologic principles is a major reason why it yields benefits seldom seen with traditional aligners.
The consultation is the right time to discuss what steps will be taken to minimize the likelihood that the recommended dental care will not adversely impact sleep, TMJ, tinnitus, bite or periodontal health.
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
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 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
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
Some patients have reported that a recently developed novel revision aligner therapy has helped them overcome poor sleep health; diminished the annoyance level of their tinnitus, and reduced the frequency and/or severity of TMD pain.
Similar to revision procedures by medical surgeons, these sequential aligner treatments have helped those whose dental-medical maladies started during or sometime after a dental treatment. Paying close attention to their periodontal health, TMD health, tinnitus health, occlusion health and tongue health has helped them achieve significant relief from existing ailments.
