The real reason I believe Bruce Willis got dementia

Sometime in 2023, I came across the news that Bruce Willis had dementia.

At first, I was shocked.

Then, I did a quick Google image search for "Bruce Willis smiling 2023." Suddenly, I wasn’t shocked anymore.

You could see it in his face—his structure had collapsed. His upper back teeth had receded, and his lower teeth were likely tilting inward. He had lost dental height. His curve of Spee? Likely flattened beyond recognition.

Today, I'm going to walk you through what most likely happened to Bruce Willis.

Bruce Willis' Diagnosis: The Beginning of the Decline

In 2022, Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). He was only 67. Way too young for something like this.

FTD is brutal. It hits behavior and language skills first. For someone like Bruce—whose entire career was built on his wit, charisma, and presence—it’s devastating.

Look at his recent profile photos. The horizontal structure he carried all his life? Gone. His cervical spine has collapsed. His upper arch seems to be under enormous strain. And yes, he's even missing a tooth in some photos.

Bruce Willis Had It All—Then Lost It

The guy had money. Fame. Looks. He had one of the most structurally sound faces and necks in Hollywood. His skull development was A+. His neurology was top-tier. That’s what made him a star.

And now? His quality of life is likely heading in the opposite direction.

Why? Because he lost his neurological health.

And once that’s gone, it’s like the foundation for happiness crumbles.

I’m not just speaking hypothetically here. I’ve lived through neurological collapse myself. And I fought my way back.

What Went Wrong?

He’s only 69. Plenty of actors look fantastic at this age. Look at John Travolta.

Both Travolta and Willis had great structure in their prime. But look closer—Travolta's teeth? A bit yellow, sure, but all natural. No major orthodontic intervention.

Bruce, on the other hand? Pearly white, straightened teeth that are clearly the result of dental work.

That’s where things likely started going wrong.

Hollywood's Obsession with "Perfect" Teeth and the Curve of Spee

Compare Bruce’s teeth from Die Hard to now. It’s obvious he had significant work done. Hollywood pushes actors toward the "perfect" smile. The problem? Most dentists don’t understand the biomechanics of facial structure.

When they cap or align teeth, they often flatten the curve of Spee—the natural arc where the back teeth sit higher than the front. It might look good in photos, but it wrecks structural integrity over time.

Imagine a suspension bridge where all the cables are suddenly the same length. Sure, it looks neat. But it collapses under stress.

That’s exactly what happened to Bruce Willis.

How This Led to Dementia

I’ve experimented with these biomechanics for almost a decade. And every time my curve of Spee flattened, my neurological function suffered—brain fog, memory issues, cognitive decline.

The difference? I figured out how to reverse it.

If I hadn’t? I might be staring down dementia too.

Bruce’s dental work likely triggered a biomechanical collapse—one that led him straight into neurological decline.

Closing Thoughts

Bruce isn’t alone. Hollywood is filled with actors who were pushed into "fixing" their smiles, only to suffer later. And I plan to cover more cases in future articles.

Now, the question people probably want to ask: Could Bruce recover if he fixed his structure?

My answer? No doubt.

Of course, if there’s permanent brain damage, that’s another story. But given the brain’s plasticity, I’d bet he could make a near-full recovery.

The real question is—will this knowledge spread fast enough to help him?

That, I’m not so sure about. 😉
