Braces are an amazing technology, but options exist.. The practice of gluing metal onto children's teeth and contorting them with rubber bands could possibly add to some of the tension in the faces of adults later in life.. I've read for most people the majority of tension is stored in the face, this was my experience.. Whatever helps us is fine and should be encouraged on a forum like this so long as we remain open to other people's experiences. Prayer is great, the empty cup that Joshua spoke of is a childlike prayer in my humble opinion

That is a pretty pointed response from someone who didn't listen to the videos. Maybe you should listen to the videos before weighing in heavily on one side of a contentious issue.

As Jami said, the problem is that it doesn't answer the OP's question. It might be philosophically interesting in a mostly unrelated way, but that's not what it sounds like she was looking for. It also doesn't answer the root of the problem. It just deals with potentially interesting but unrelated spiritual and health issues.

It was never my intent to straighten my teeth, or smooth an 8" scar from infancy that goes down the center of my head, but it has happened over the past 20 months or so along with a host of other (positive) physical changes. Some might say it was a natural process and it might be worth sharing here, but your opinion is fine as well.

He mixes his spiritual beliefs in with his practices and beliefs about the body. I don't have a problem with him doing that, but to recommend it on a question about straightening teeth doesn't seem to respond very precisely to the question. I might listen to him again, but it won't be to learn about straightening teeth. It might be to try to understand his overall philosophy, which seems interesting, but not targeted to straightening teeth.

Thanks,

I haven't listened to Mr Robert, but judging from Joshua Parke's response I can't help but think of the permaculture mindset of focusing on the root problem and not dealing with a symptom. So what is the problem here? I'm not sure
