Dentists around the world must recognize that treating patients based on the conventional habitual jaw position can significantly impact their lives.
One key consequence is reduced blood circulation in the cranial region. This effect can be felt by anyone.
First, palpate the arterial pulse around the eyebrows while the teeth are not in contact. Then, close the teeth together and observe the change in pulse. If the pulse weakens or disappears when the teeth are in contact, it means lifelong reduced blood circulation to the brain.
On the other hand, when the mandible is positioned in the MCB position, a strong pulse can clearly be felt.
Dentists, when your patients discover this fact, how will you take responsibility? You cannot simply claim ignorance to escape accountability.
