Improve your health

This will help to promote better airway, healthy breathing and comfortable ability to chew

• why are teeth crowded or crooked?
• dysfunctional breathing affects your health in many ways
• improve your ability to chew by providing balance

Narrow upper and lower jaws, misaligned or crowded teeth, malocclusion, mouth breathing and poor head forward posture affect our health.

The oral cavity is the first part of the digestive system. We must chew our food well to prepare it for proper absorption of our nutrients in food.

The oral cavity has an important role in our ability to breathe well and sleep well.

Nature has provided us with upper and lower jaws that are meant to have enough space for all 32 adult teeth in good alignment.

We are meant to breathe through our noses, which filters, warms and humidifies the air we take into our lungs.

Why do teeth crowd? Why do over 80% of the population need their 3rd molars (wisdom teeth removed)? Why do most people have teeth that are not in perfect alignment? Why do most orthodontic treatments relapse after 10 years?

In addressing the cause we improves whole body health.

The shape of the upper and lower jaws is determined by

• A balance of muscles in the tongue, lips and cheeks.
• Swallowing pattern and resting position of the tongue and jaws
• Whether you are predominantly a mouth breather.

Our breathing habits affect every system in our body (see Breathe Well), including our ability to optimally digest our food and sleep well.
