Clinical Case 2013 — n° 25

Patient Accompanied by a Dentosophic Friend

I started the treatment in June 2013 to straighten my teeth. At first, the main goal was aesthetic.
Indeed, I wore a "classic" dental appliance for 3 and a half years. I was initially satisfied, but gradually my teeth began to move apart again, and they progressively took the same path they had at the beginning. I even considered postponing a dental appliance until I was 23 years old...

Then, by chance, I learned that this treatment existed.
It seemed good to me and especially coherent in the sense that the fact of guiding the teeth to reposition themselves through daily relaxation exercises rather than forcing them to straighten with pain seemed much more appropriate.
In short, I started the exercises, gradually increasing the duration of the sessions. In a few months, my mouth was transformed.
It was really impressive, I must admit that I was surprised myself.

But where I want to go is that the treatment is not just aesthetic. Guiding the teeth is part of a whole.
By learning to relax, to let go of the burdens I had been carrying at my feet for years, and I'm talking about lived experiences, everything that happened and weighed on me, I felt better.
Of course, it doesn't happen like that, I had to invest in the treatment and it's still the case, to reevaluate, to forgive, but I feel that I'm progressing, that I'm healing, that I'm repairing.

I also want to mention that I had benign tumors in my breasts at the age of 20. I was operated on, but it quickly returned without anyone explaining why. I understood that it wasn't by chance, but because my body had to deal with what I was going through at the time, and it overproduced cells that degenerated. When you think about it, it would be more logical given the intensity and repetition of the phenomenon, not to mention the pain.
In short, I understood that I had to let go of the burdens, and I've been trying to do so for 10 months now.
I have much less pain in my breasts than before, and I really think it's related to the treatment, which physically does me good, but also to a new awareness.

To summarize, I would simply say that the treatment taught me a lot.
I learned to relax, to understand that my breathing was fundamental, to master it.
I also learned to forgive because it's good for oneself to be as peaceful as possible, for the body.
When you suffer, the body expresses itself in its own way, and by grasping this, I believe it allows for another reflection on one's way of living.

What I take away from it is that it was by starting with daily relaxation exercises that I was able to progressively do myself good, feel that I was finally going in the right direction.
It's not perfect, but it has really enriched me.
