The success of your treatment depends on your motivation to get better.  Without understanding, there is no motivation, and without motivation and participation in the program, all I can do it push around your teeth.  With motivation, I can guide you in dealing with the causes of the problem and help you become your very best you.

Here's a science-guy video that does a good job of explaining the background to my thinking.
