Majority of those issues at some point are related to that cartilage pad not being in the proper position, which affects fertility.

The movement of the joint and, you know, and then symptoms that are associated with that.

Now, who's more susceptible?

That's what we don't really know about.

So sometimes like people who don't have teeth in the back of their jaw, that might lead to an unsupported jaw joint.

You get strain on the ligaments that support that cartilage pad.

And then you have a problem that is associated with it.

Right.

So, you know, again, like the teeth ultimately are the support system to the joint.

So like, let's just say like you don't have any teeth on half of your mouth.

So you're going to chew on the left side of your mouth.

And you're going to probably develop a habit with the way that your jaw wants to rotate and shift to be able to function, to talk, to be able to chew, you know, to be able to say how great your podcast is, your jaw joint is moving around.

Right.

Every time that we're speaking or eating or functioning.

And so if you're unsupported on one side, you start to develop habits with the way that you move your jaw to be able to function.

And then that can weaken the structure.

So again, using like analogous to like an orthopedic issue, like a hip issue, if you had one leg that's shorter than the other, it's a really common problem.

reason for having misaligned, you know, pelvis and start develop hip and back pain.

And so really it's the same type of thing at the end of the day.

Right.
