Taping the mouth sounds good. But does that mean your nose will automatically work? Is your nose clear enough for nasal breathing?

Taping the mouth sounds good. Does that mean your tongue is suctioned up in the palate and out of the airway?

Taping the mouth sounds good. A little gap in the tape sounds less scary. That likely means your lips can open to mouth breathe if needed. And that means tongue suction strength is reduced.

Don’t passively tape the mouth. Do MFT - Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. Work on the resting muscle tension of your jaw, lips and tongue. Work on your nasal breathing; build up the nose muscles needed for nasal breathing. Then tape your mouth as adjunct.

To lose weight, go exercise. Don’t just take diet pills.

Make an appointment with us today to learn how to have optimal tongue resting posture!

Children as young as 4 years old can benefit from Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.

For children younger than 4, we can do oral motor therapy to help with oral motor development, to prevent mouth breathing and other associated issues as they grows older!

We also work with children with special needs, teaching them nasal breathing and correct tongue resting posture through the use of oral motor tools. This significantly helps with their ability to self-regulate!

Correcting your tongue posture is an important step for better health.

The roof the mouth is innervated with parasympathetic cranial nerves, proper tongue posture pressing to the palate, activates these calming nerves.

Tongue to the roof of the mouth also activates the muscles in the throat and neck to keep the airway behind the mouth open.

During sleep it’s critical this airway stays open.

There are a number of issues associated with improper tongue placement, including:
• Snoring and sleep apnea
• Bite dysfunction
• Improper swallowing
• Crowded teeth or front gaps
• Muscular pain in the mouth
• Temporomandibular joint dysfunction
• Neck pain/tension (due to joint dysfunction)
• Developmental problems relating to the jaw and other areas
• Headaches

Most of us have received little or no instruction on proper tongue placement, but mewing is easy as long as you follow these steps:
• Instead of allowing your tongue to lie at the base of your mouth, place the tip against your hard palate (located behind the upper front teeth).
• Flatten the rest of your tongue until it’s fully pressed up against the roof of your mouth.
• Seal your lips and keep your teeth slightly apart.

Couldn’t find the spot? Try this exercise.
Start by making a big, cheezy grin and raising your eyebrows. Now, try to swallow while keeping your teeth clenched. This may be difficult, but if you can do it successfully, you will feel the back of your tongue pressing against the roof of your mouth–This is where you want it to be.

When correcting tongue posture remember that awareness is key; try to get a better sense of your oral posture throughout the day. Where is your tongue usually situated?

Is it pressing against your front teeth or lying passively on the floor of your mouth?

While monitoring your tongue’s position, also take note of your breathing. Are your lips frequently open?

If so, you’re probably breathing through your mouth, and this is often a sign of poor tongue posture.

The below inforgraphics perfectly describes what we do at Summer’s Therapy Services - the oral motor specialist!

Not only do we work with neurotypical children and adults through orofacial myofunctional therapy, we also help those with special needs.

Using specialised oral motor tools like TalkTools and ARK Therapeutics, we can teach good oral rest posture and nasal breathing to those with special needs; this greatly helps regulation! The proper use of the jaw, lips and tongue is also the foundation for good eating and speech development!

We have seen many children with and without special needs benefitting from tongue tie releases. This is a good research to support our work.

Not only in children, we have also witness the same in the adult population.

And of course, successful tongue tie releases include with pre and post-op exercises!

Something for everyone to know and think about!

Call us to find out how orofacial myofunctional therapy can help correct your mouth breathing, to become a nasal breather. For better breathing, facial growth, speech and swallowing.

We also work with children with special needs through oral motor focused speech therapy, to improve their breathing, to help them focus and learn better!

Mouth Breather Face and Nose Breathing Face
Did you know the way you breathe can shape your face? Let's break it down. ⬇️
🌟 The Nose Breather Face:
When a child habitually breathes through their nose, the tongue rests on the roof of the mouth, guiding proper jaw development. This leads to:
✅ Forward jaw growth
✅ High cheekbones
✅ A strong, well-defined jawline
✅ Wider airways for better breathing
This is why nasal breathing is crucial for optimal facial growth, airflow, and overall health.
😮 The Mouth Breather Face:
Mouth breathing disrupts this natural development. Without the tongue shaping the palate:
🚫 The jaws grow backward
🚫 The airways become smaller
🚫 Cheekbones lose definition
🚫 Posture, muscle strength, and breathing efficiency suffer
Over time, this can result in tired eyes, a recessed chin, and even impaired athletic performance. Chronic mouth breathing is also linked to poor sleep, reduced energy, and concentration issues.
💡 "Children who mouth breathe often struggle with sleep quality, growth, and even academic performance," explains Dr. Josh Jefferson. These children are sometimes misdiagnosed with ADD or hyperactivity when the root issue is obstructed airways.
Let's spread awareness of the importance of nasal breathing to support healthy facial development and better overall health. Start today—breathe through your nose! 🌬️💙
