Clenching at night is often blamed on stress. Sometimes it's your body working to keep your airway open while you sleep. Do you wake up with a tight jaw or a headache? #clenching#bruxism#tmj#sleephealth
At any age, tongue tie can affect breathing
and sleep. When the tongue can’t rest on the roof of the mouth, the airway loses its support, causing instability and disrupted breathing and sleep.
That gap you're staring at isn't damage. It's your maxilla finally making room for the airway you were supposed to have. #palatalexpansion#marpe#orthodontist
Your bite does more than help you chew. Each time your teeth meet, your brain gets information about your balance and position. An uneven bite can mean the body is working harder to compensate. Do you feel tension more on one side of your body? #airwayhealth#bite#posture
