Ben Greenfield visits Dr. Aniko Loud at Whole Health Dentistry in Phoenix to reshape his jaw and realign his teeth. They use injection-molded templates to test the new bite before committing to permanent changes, aiming for better function, a relaxed nervous system, and improved aesthetics.
Whole Health Dentistry in Phoenix. If you heard my first podcast with the great Dr. Aniko Loud, you know what you're about to get into. We created these templates, so there are injection molding templates. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to place material inside these, put them over your teeth, and then just open. So we're just trying to get your jaw to relax. There's a difference. These are temporary, obviously, but this is the test, the size. My name is Ben Greenfield. I'm at Whole health dentistry with Dr. Nico Loud in Phoenix. Been going through a really cool process of kind of, like, reshaping my jaw and my teeth alignment to allow me to have a proper bite. And now is kind of like the big day because we're putting the icing on the cake and actually redoing the teeth now so that everything aesthetic that Dr. Lau does doesn't wind up getting, you know, destroyed from an improper bite or poor function of the mouth. And there's a lot of cool side effects, all the way down to, like, you know, more relaxed nervous system, better activation of what's called your parasympathetic rest and digest system because the teeth are aligned properly. Not to mention you get an even more beautiful smile. I'm excited. It's a long day in the chair.
