Braces and Scoliosis

September 1, 2017

In the final segment of this three-part series, Erin Myers of Spiral Spine Pilates refers to a recent study indicating that orthodontic braces can play a role in increasing one’s risk of developing scoliosis, particularly when combined with classical ballet training and a having low BMI. Erin is well versed on these factors as she was affected by each, and provides a unique perspective on how to manage them.

If you’d like to learn more about the connection between orthodontics and scoliosis, we invite you to read Erin’s previous blog post on the subject.

Additionally, further information on Ballet and BMI and a link to the scientific study referred to in all three videos can be found here.

Video 3 of a 3-part series. Part 1 and part 2 are up on the blog. We hope you’ve enjoyed this video series and would love to hear about your experiences with braces and scoliosis in the comments section.

    I had braces and I knew that’s what caused my scoliosis. I just knew it. Its nice to know other people have had the same thing. I would just love to have it fixed. I don’t even care what caused it

      There do not appear to be any clinical studies between orthodontics, neurology, specialists in biomechanics, mathematics, or applied biomechanics to prove that orthodontics does NOT cause biomechanical deflections and conflicts of forces passing from the ortho appliance into the musculo skeletal system. There is also no spinal evaluation that accompanies any ortho to guarantee that the ortho will not cause any harm .

      TEACH CHILDREN TO CHEW LIKE A SQUIRREL because squirrels are precision chewers and acrobats of the forest with optimal neurocognitive biomechanics!

Or, are you allowing yourself to be a victim to the current status of your body? All body issues can get better. I’m not promising they’ll go away, but all can get better. 

If you need help owning your scoli and your scoli journey, the Scoliosis Retreat is a perfect place for you to start. The next on is March 3-4 at @spiral_spine in Nashville. 🔗 in bio. We’d love to walk your journey with you. #spiralspine #scoliosis #nashvillepilates #bentbutnotbroken #scoliosiswarrior #scoliosisexercise #pilates

Wow! What a journey I have been on! In 2016 I was told I had to have another fusion only this time it would be full spinal. I had already exhausted all “non” surgical options at that point and then I hit rock bottom. That is until a friend literally begged me to call her friend Erin at Spiral Spine.
.
After delaying weeks, I finally made it in to the studio. I could barely walk and pretty much laid on my back crying most of the session. Bless Erin for loving on people. 💕
.
Fast forward to Summer 2022. I have officially completed all of my Balanced Body courses to be an instructor and now focusing on my hours. I can only hope I have the same impact on someone else.
