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!

Happy National Scoliosis Month! There’s no bette Happy National Scoliosis Month! There’s no better way to kick of this month than talking about all thing scoli on @localon2live . Here are my top tips after your initial diagnosis:
*
1. Take a deep breath. You don’t have to make a decision this moment about bracing or surgery. Get a few other opinions and try out a few different kinds of practitioners.
*
2. No emotional decisions. When you get emotional, you can make life-long decisions that are irreversible or have long-term negative effects. 
*
3. Do your research. I’ve done TONS of research over the last two decades and have put it all in my latest book I Have Scoliosis; Now What? 📖 I have almost 500 research references in there! Once you know what research says, then you can make the best decision for you on how to move forward with your scoliosis.
