How to correct facial asymmetry with DNA and Homeoblock appliances. the Vivos DNA Appliance and the Homeoblock Devices can correct facial asymmetries by manipulating the bite area of the expanders. The balance of the jaw and facial bones can be improved if an experienced dentist knows how to diagnose the structural problems, design the orthodontic appliances. And finally, the appliance expert needs to know how adjust the appliance during the course of treatment. The Vivos or Homeoblock needs to be systematically adjusted from one appointment to the next so the facial imbalances can be corrected.

theres very little to these appliances and this video is one of the best no bs explanations

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Thank you

[@nostaljikmusic5032]

i appreciate the way you break down things to make them easier to understand. Thank you

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Thanks

[@cmrboyz4561]

Lots of detail in this video thanks for clarifying some confusion doctor

[@SereneOrthodontics]

My pleasure

[@allysonreeves-land323]

I wish you had an office in Atlanta! Your videos are more informative and helpful than anything I've seen or read.

[@allysonreeves-land323]

Also, is there an instance when you would only a bottom expander and not a top?

[@SereneOrthodontics]

It’s important to control the growth of both jaws. So rarely do we do 1 appliance.

[@SereneOrthodontics]

We have a traveling patient program. Also we’re in Clearwater Florida. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaTIoJ94fql9osU

[@gsgaming4291]

Doctor you make a good video with good detail. Do you know about cases where homeoblock/vivos lengthens the maxilla? There is a pre-med student who has experienced this and it is a bad result.

[@SereneOrthodontics]

We get forward/anterior growth on a regular basis. I’m sorry to hear about the bad result.

[@milesdereknavarro5616]

do you know what causes worsened symmetry with this appliance? Seen a young fellow’s photos and he looks worse. He reports sleeping worse

[@SereneOrthodontics]

That is too bad. Poor outcome is usually associated with poor design of the appliance, improper bite adjustments or adjusting the appliance too quickly or not wearing it long enough.

[@pubglitetelugugamer5170]

So the shape of the appliance will impact how the face grows? There’s a guy who used homeoblock and got messed up pretty bad. I guess his appliance wasn’t done right but it’s scary indeed. Good video!

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Yes. See some of the comments above

[@DonCorleone73]

Thank you very much for this video, could you please tell me what kind of material you use to fix imbalances in the maxilla heights ?

[@murselgaming1770]

These appliances sounds wonderful but what concerns everyone is a case where a patient (not yours) got worse. I would love to know what caused his outcome dr.

[@SereneOrthodontics]

The two most common reasons for poor outcomes, are poor design, and adjusting the appliance too rapidly or improperly

[@manimohabbatizadeh7583]

Great video. Any practitioners that provide this in the Portland, OR area? Thanks!

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Not that I’m aware of. Sorry

[@bryanochs2704]

You sound like your from Pittsburgh....

[@johnbasedow8973]

My face has been a mess for years. Under eye wrinkles. Double chin. Hooded eyes. Just overall ugly af pre mature aging look. I realize when I was 30 that I had been mouth breathing my whole life which caused my face to develop so ugly. I’ve gone hard on mewing the past year and it has made a legitimate difference but still I look bad. I wonder if this product coukd work better than mewing. This is really sad for me. My lack of proper facial development due to poor posture and mouth breathing has destroyed my social life for the last 15 years

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Hi John. I am sorry to hear about that. Mouth breathing can be devastating. It is a long road to getting better, but usually Mewing alone will not solve the problem. You will need some appliance therapy to help get your palate wider and your lower jaw forward. Check out all our videos and our website: marylandholisticdentist.com/

[@sahilgodara6467]

Hey doc, can these appliances correct 10 mm overbite along with braces or aligners?

[@SereneOrthodontics]

I’d need to see the case, but probably not.

[@jenheinz3674]

Where can we find a professional that deals w this in Utah🙏🙏🙏

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Honestly I’m not aware of any

[@beccamoraz]

As the appliance is tooth borne does it cause tooth tipping?

[@SereneOrthodontics]

As long as the appliance is not expanded too quickly and the bite on the appliance is balanced. We tell out patients to let us know if there is any pain in the teeth as is normal for braces. There should never be any orthodontic pain.

[@jessicanordstrom1709]

Would this appliance help with neck and shoulder pain?

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Absolutely. We see resolution of head, neck, back and jaw tension.

[@dcmarvel3000]

Where can I find a provider near Arizona? And I’ve seen a case where some guy grew long from wear. They told me to choose my provider carefully any recommendations dr?

[@SereneOrthodontics]

I’m sorry but I don’t know anyone in AZ

[@darinealame5772]

[@cenkkinqzzzz3002]

[@SereneOrthodontics]

[@lisellesloan3191]

[@khalidabuhijleh3127]

Facial asymmetry in plagiocephaly, is there a solution? Like alf.homeoblock.dna? Thank you, Doctor

[@SereneOrthodontics]

I am sorry. I do not understand the question.

[@SereneOrthodontics]

We do not have any specific experience treating plagiocephaly with dental appliances. That does not mean it is impossible.

[@guilhermesmonteiro7344]

Hello, Khali. I'm also trying to find a solution for my facial asymmetry caused by plagiocephaly and as far as I studied Alf.bioblock seems to be he best solution. Have you started the treatment?

[@ferrisberlin6583]

ALF was designed with osteopathic principles. I believe that is your best bet.
