INSIGHT

Facial Structure Changes

Modern faces have shrunk due to industrialized food and lack of chewing.
This has led to crooked teeth, smaller mouths and airways, and breathing problems.

ADVICE

Diagnose Mouth Breathing

Diagnose mouth breathing by checking daytime breathing and using mouth tape at night.
Look for dry mouth, nighttime urination, snoring, or sleep apnea as indicators.

ADVICE

Mouth Tape Technique

Use surgical or micro-pore tape to encourage nasal breathing at night.
Remove some adhesive and remember it's a reminder, not a permanent seal.
