I spent today learning about airway, orthodontics and myofunctional therapy. Nasal breathing and quality of sleep are so important for our overall health. It is exciting to see dental professionals leading the way.

Your mentalis muscle (chin muscle) is something we will evaluate during your comprehensive evaluation. We will observe the appearance and look for any bunching when lips are closed at rest (or whatever your resting posture may be even if lips apart) and when swallowing. We will also palpate this muscle.

Mentalis strain is an indicator of lip incompetence and vertical maxillary growth. We tend to see gummy smiles with mentalis strain due to this. Mentalis strain can also be an indication of a lip tie and overall weakness in the lips.

Winter ❄️ is coming and so is cold and flu 🤧 season. That means nasal 👃 congestion. My favorite go to item to clear my nasal passages is the Boom Boom Breathe nasal inhaler. This is a must have to keep your nasal passages clear so you are always breathing thru your nose.

Sleep apnea starts with mouth breathing. Often times children that mouth breathe will become adults with sleep apnea. Myofunctional therapy teaches you how to become a nasal breather.
