Disruptive technology is an innovation that significantly alters the way that consumers, industries, or businesses operate. A disruptive technology sweeps away the systems or habits it replaces, because it has attributes that are recognizably superior.
The wheel, the light bulb, and the cellphone are three examples of disruptive technologies. At the time, these innovations caused a profound break with previous patterns, bringing about major changes in people’s lives.
Why is Oralift a disruptive Technology?
DENTISTRY
Challenges the concept of occlusal correction in dentistry:
Occlusal Restoration is also sometimes prescribed to correct the alignment of the teeth. Crooked teeth are replaced or reconstructed through occlusal restorative procedures such as Orthodontic (Braces) or Invisalign® to correct the position of the teeth and improve the normal functioning of the mouth.
However, Dr Mohindra found that Oralift helped to deprogramme the facial muscles and the 3 dimensional position of the jaw. His patients found that with these healthy facial muscles and by stopping tooth contact, many patients were able to eat with difficult bites and occlusal correction was not needed for these patients.
DENTISTRY CONTD.
Vertical dimension of occlusion, or VDO, also known as occlusal vertical dimension (OVD), is a term used in dentistry to indicate the superior-inferior relationship of the maxilla and the mandible when the teeth are occluded in maximum intercuspation.
In rehabilitating an entire arch, however, the occlusal vertical dimension is often corrected to a more ideal, usually greater, opening. This correction means that a ceramic thickness exceeding the amount of tooth structure removed can be used.
Dr Mohindra found that when restoring vertical dimension of occlusion using Oralift, a 3 dimensional change takes place in the position of the jaw, hence the traditional instruments used were no longer suitable. The traditional Instruments, such as a facebow and an adjustable articular do not take the 3 dimensional change into account. Start of Journey
DERMATOLOGY
Treatment of facial skin and facial skin conditions:
Our face is often one of the first areas to show the signs of ageing. Age spots, dry skin, crow’s feet, wrinkles, sagging skin, dark circles and generally looking tired are all big contributors to ageing skin.
There are lots of ways to help prevent these, one of the most important is regular use of sun protection, but staying hydrated, reducing alcohol consumption and eating a healthy diet are all going to help reduce the signs of ageing.
Traditional ways of treating include:
ORTHOGNATIC SURGERY
Traditionally Jaw Surgery is a first step for people who have under or overdeveloped jaws, or asymmetry to the face. Oralift challenges the need for Jaw Surgery. In future, the first step would be to try Oralift first and Jaw Surgery will be needed far less.

ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY CONTD.
Korea is the center of correction to Asymmetry, again with the use of Oralift, we know this would be significantly reduced if people tried Oralift. Oralift not only corrects the deprogrammed facial muscles and the symmetry to the face, but the symmetry to the whole body as the posture is improved. Jaw Surgery
BODY POSTURE
Can you fix head posture?
By consciously incorporating exercises into your routine, such as chin tucks and neck stretches, you can gradually correct the misalignment and strengthen the supporting muscles
Any kind of exercise may help improve your posture, but certain types of exercises can be especially helpful. They include yoga, tai chi, and other classes that focuses on body awareness. It is also a good idea to do exercises that strengthen your core (muscles around your back, abdomen, and pelvis).Facial muscle exercise devices vs. Oralift anti-ageing device
When you use Oralift, facial muscles become deprogrammed immediately and your head posture changes and this change travels down the spinal vertebrae, correcting body posture.Katarina’s Story
Oralift is regarded as a general wellness product by the FDA and is patented worldwide.
The Oralift device is a small mouthguard device that is worn for short periods of time with rest breaks. Oralift counteracts the harmful effects of aging and rejuvenates the face in addition to other health benefits. What is Oralift?
It comes with an app that helps you test the state of your facial muscles, sets your individual wear programme and helps you monitor your progress. Tracking Your Success With Your App
Oralift leverages the adaptability of facial muscles, a concept well-established in orthodontics. Unlike other muscles in the body, facial muscles are unique and can adapt instantly. What is the adaptation process? It is just the metabolic or physiological adjustment within cells or tissues of an organism, triggered by an environmental stimulus. This leads to a better ability of the organism to cope with the changing environment.
Meet Dr. Nick Mohindra, a man with a passion for pushing the boundaries in the dental profession and making a real impact. In 1996, his first paper was published in the esteemed British Dental Journal. His next medical breakthrough was the dental facelift technique, which could make people look up to 20 years younger. This work lead to the discovery of the ground breaking Oralift. Meanwhile, his sister had qualified as an optometrist in London and moved to the US to continue her studies and undertake research. Dr. Indra Mohindra went on to break new ground in her profession and became a Professor at the New England College of Optometry. Their unique story was published in NY Weekly, as seen below. Start of Journey
The Mohindra technique, developed by Dr. Indra Mohindra in 1975, is an alternative to cycloplegic retinoscopy in young patients and is widely used in optology. Following Dr. Indra’s recent passing, her brother, Dr. Nick Mohindra, aims to continue their legacy of innovation in wellness techniques. Their family’s journey from India to Kenya and then to Britain is recounted, with Dr. Nick pursuing dentistry and Dr. Indra optology. Dr. Indra’s move to the US for research at MIT and her international acclaim treating world leaders inspired Dr. Nick’s career path. He developed the Oralift natural facelift, a wellness product based on orthodontic principles, to reduce facial aging effects. The Oralift adjusts jaw position, leading to muscle adaptation and improved posture and circulation. Dr. Nick also developed an app to track Oralift progress and address user concerns. He sees his work as honoring his sister’s legacy and impacting patients worldwide.
