Mouth Breathing Causes Crooked Teeth

Did you know that mouth breathing causes crooked teeth😬 And this isn't new news. This is a quote from a text book printed in 1907!!

Nasal breathing is essential for optimal oral health and overall well-being. 👃 Mouth breathing impacts the way our face grows, the way our teeth come together, the way we breathe, eat, sleep, feel and connect with others.

Retraining the muscles of the mouth and face can prevent the need for extensive orthodontics. It can provide stability and retention so that your teeth don't shift back and prevent jaw pain or headaches from developing.

So many times people tell me that their TMJ started popping or clicking only once they received orthodontic work. That's because the muscles (and fascial strains) are working against their orthodontic work. Imagine how beautiful it would be to have the body work together in harmony to achieve optimal results.😌

Here's to hoping that one day soon all providers will realize the importance of treating the body as a whole and working together to help people thrive. 🥂

Have your teeth shifted since having orthodontic work?
