I'm an extraction victim and it retracted me jaws and restricted my tongue space. My teeth also shifted to one side to close that one extraction caused by decay, which caused to a midline discrepancy.

Hey, I have the same question. I had some extractions that pulled my maxilla to the side so it became asymmetric, there's a midline discrepancy now. But my bite is perfect, did you find out something that could be done?

Another probable cause of narrowing pallets is the introduction of sugar into our diet. The cranial dentists I was educated by and worked with , I can’t remember the research he cited but ,he emphasized that tribes that don’t have processed sugar in their diet have wide full pallets, but societies that do have processed sugar the palate start to shrink and narrow. It may have something to do with palate development in utero and the nervous system being hyper regulated from the sugar.
@@NealHallinan Neither is he an expert on bodily posture, yet he expresses thats its an important part of mewing, and the inverted is true for you. Would be cool to see if you could come to any conclusions since the two of you complement each others practices very well.
Neal - you really do a fantastic job of explaining all this. Big question is how do you find a dentist that is capable of understanding the issue and approach and help correct the bite appropriately. I have an appliance from PRI, but I can’t wear it all the time.
Birth is a traumatic experience. Forceps are responsible for so many cranial issues. My cranio-sacral practitioner stopped working with adults and started working with babies exclusively because she felt that was where she could do the most good. She was never able to get my sphenoid realigned after a childhood fall but it came into alignment last night and I feel like I've been hit by a truck. SO much realigning and reorganizing taking place. 🥴😵💫
When will people be brave enough to mention the role that the medical system plays in the amount of trauma it inflicts on babies through the birthing process alone, then the 💉💉💉 the moment they are born and how all of this contributes to huge amounts of trauma and stress on their nervous systems including inflammation in their body and brains from the neurotoxins, which leads to the constant need for external comfort through pacifiers etc. the fact that I screamed persistently as a baby because of severe heartburn, couldn’t breast feed, was chronically sick with bronchitis, tonsillitis, asthma, became a chronic mouth breather, I have stunted growth, stigmatisms, cross bite, left AIC pattern, hiatal hernia and vagus nerve imbalance, mixed dominance and the list goes on. But seriously, please start talking about the elephant in the room and that is the more big Pharma and medicine became imbedded in the conception and birthing process along with 💉, THAT’s when all our problems began and why indigenous cultures don’t have these issues!
Hi, I’m 15 years old and I’ve been watching your videos and I really need help. So I have had an extra tooth in the left side of my mouth for 4 years. It led to an asymetry in my face.I got it out of there today and here is what I have now. Left eye higher than le right, restricted breathing in the right ribs, my right shoulder higher than the left one and the nerves in my arms etc. are all tight. I had to take a break from basketball until I Get that fixed and my right hip feels uncomfortable sometimes. Its been 7 months since this breathing problem and I stopped working out because of it. My collarbone on the left side seems like its pulled down and I have neck tightness too. Also, I have a left rib flare and not much in the pelvic I think except a right leg externally rotated most of the time. I really want to get back to my sport even if I have learned a lot from this injury. can you help? Thanks for Your time
I wish that addressing these things were not so hard to access (geographically), financially prohibitive for a lot of people, and seem like such a gamble. If I knew 100% this stuff would fix all my issues it would be worth the investment (though I'd have to borrow the money from family), but when you've already tried so many things (many of which are expensive) and are on a limited budget, it's really difficult. I've been doing PRI for almost a year and have seen some improvement but am still struggling to retain the changes. My therapist has a dentist she works with but unfortunately both of them are pretty far from me (I drive 2-3 hours each way to my PRI appointments) and the splint therapy costs several thousand dollars (to say nothing of palate expansion, etc.). The fact that even that might not be enough without additional vision or other interventions just makes it all feel insurmountable.
@@NealHallinan Do you think that facial changes are necessarily slow? Or is it theoretically possible that you could have 'rearranged' yourself more quickly if you'd gotten exactly the correct treatment upon the first try?
@@bethml854 They probably would have happened more quickly if I had gotten everything done at once. The Covid year(s) and a failed attempt at Invisalign seriously set me back.
Hi Neal, Like you, I’ve spend my life with severe asymmetry and twist and became obsessed with this topic. Any idea what exercises to do to fix a pectus carinatum deformity? Its a rare ribcage deformity, I was born with it and it caused my health issues my whole life. My parents asked doctors about it when I was a kid but they said it wasn’t a big deal. Thoracic surgeons said they could not operate on me when I sought for help ad an adult, for several reasons and bracing did not work as I did it as an adult, and further flared my ribs because. PRI is my last shot at improving it. I don’t expect a full fix but I’ve been in chronic pain my whole life + health issues and I’d love to feel just a bit better. There is no videos on RUclips about how to improve pectus carinatum. Only a few about excavatum. I’ve newly found your channel & have been binge watching your videos for the past days! You’re changing the world with your channel. It’s a goldmine and definitely gonna grow. Your dedication to what you do is admirable. Thank you Neil!
It's crazy that the tongue can be the source of so many problems. I guess it means that bad saliva swallowing technique can be problematic too. Would creating a breast shaped milk feeder help in infancy if the mother doesn't want to breast feed ? :p And what does Dr. Marielly Mitchell mean with "you can see the whites of the eyes underneath" ? Wish there was more to listen to, it's so interesting !
Hey Neal, I have asymmetric face. One side of the face is more prominent and forwardly grown (jaw and cheekbones. My left side jaw seems like it lacks bone mass compared to right). I have scoliosis and i think my asymmetry is cause by it, so my question is can face asymmetry due to scoliosis be fixed?
Hi, Neal I saw in the description U are situated in NJ?! I live in NJ, and I have SI joint issues and leg pain. Painkillers and PT haven't been very helpful. I have so much in common to all the things u mentioned. Would have loved to have a consultation with u. Do u have a physical office?
Hey Neal, how did tackle your dental work? You've mentioned using a splint but curious if you wear it all the time, and also which approach you took for palate expansion? Thanks in advance!
It's possible. I've been taking singing lessons and my palate has expanded a few millimeters and I've recently been giving myself some canine contact via tongue depressors that seems to change my voice a bit. Unfortunately my splint doesn't have canine guidance. So I have to give it to myself.
The cranium and the body transform in sync. You are assuming that the problem started at the head (for no particular reason ), then the rest of the body got dragged into it. We can just as well assume the issue was initially with the feet, say bc of bad shoes (i e. All shoes) then the head had to overcompensate for that , and from there on tension kept building up in a vicious cycle.
what appliances did you use for the expansion? tooth borne eg. ALF or surgically placed MSE? I am gobsmacked at how freely your mandible moves now. I didn't think this kind of change was possible without surgery
This makes me anxious to know I have these problems, I can feel them and I know I will need a splint to solve it :D especially mandibular deviations and mixed dominance.. Do you know any PRI-aware dentists that could make a splint in Europe or Nordics? Im from Finland..
Hi neal i have a right posterior crossbite and i suffer from right tmcc im getting a palate expander on the 9th of february, and then braces for the midline, do u think the palate expander will work even tho im 17?
@@NealHallinan Thank you for your response neal, really good to know, did you get a full skeletal expansion or just a dental one, from what ive been told if ur older u rarely get skeletal expansion but only dental, wanted to know how it worked on you
I have a cross bite. I’ve been purposely keeping my teeth in an underbite during the day to get even tooth contact and it’s helping my neck pain and range of motion. my mouth guard doesn’t seem to change anything as much as this has. do you think this is a bad idea?
@@NealHallinan I’d like to see Dr. Rao in Pasadena, it’s tough because my insurance company doesn’t cover a visit. I’m working on it, but meanwhile I’m trying to do helpful things on my own based on what I believe is going on with my body.
So essentially Orthotropics(aka Mewing), only it looks at the causes of why things go out of whack, and intercepts before it gets out of whack. Good for parents of young children to know, but I reckon for adults themselves, checking out Mewing is a better path?
It's not mewing. It's about checking vision (not just eyesight), dental occlusion and, yes, tongue posture (during rest, chewing, swallowing, speech etc.). It's definitely not about forcing the maxilla upwards with the tongue. The tongue should be relaxed and at rest on the palate, so that the mandible can come forward and move from side to side with ease.
@@NealHallinan I have been using mewing for years, to widen my palate and restore my facial structure. It definitely has had an effect. Im not certain but I think it should also have an effect on the jaw as well. Im just thinking it pretty much overlaps with what Dr Marielly talks about here. She just has a different perspective in terms of when she focuses on for intervention or rather, id say she does the preventative work. Mike Mew and John Mew work on the consequences. So, their methods are efficient for children but also have some limited effect for adults.
It's possible. But I also take singing lessons and I've been experimenting with canines, which can influence temporal bones, which can influence the entire oral cavity and thus resonance.

And also sugar gives a lot of calories with little to no mastication effort
Breastfeeding in tribes to age 6 was also normal. This was a major contributor to healthy jaw development
A conversation between you and Dr. Mike Mew would be so intresting. Alot of overlap between PRI and mewing

Yes, there are big differences. The face/cranium just reorganizes around the midline when your sensory inputs are regulated appropriately.
