Snored to death- the book

So true….

So true….

Open mouth does not mean open airway.
It often means loss of tongue support, jaw drop, and collapse where it matters most.

Mouth breathing is not a habit.
It is a compensation for obstruction.

Fix the cause.
The airway follows.

I love this… good advice.

Truth…

Chronic mouth breathing is not a habit.
It is adaptation.

Low tongue posture.
Narrow maxilla.
Long face pattern.
Retruded mandible.

Function drives form.
If the airway is compromised during growth, the face grows around the problem.

The earlier we intervene, the more we can guide development instead of correcting damage.

This is the TRUTH…

Truth…. It’s so sad how much misinformation is being presented as fact.

Truth…. It’s so sad how much misinformation is being presented as fact.

Tongue tie release can improve function in selected cases. However, there is no good evidence that it prevents future tonsil or adenoid enlargement. Those tissues enlarge for immunological reasons that are largely independent of the frenulum.

The confusion centres around a few false premises. This includes:
1. mouth breathing causes large tonsils- it does not
2. A tongue tie can cause open mouth posture, and enlarged adenoids can cause open mouth breathing, so by addressing the tongue tie we no longer have mouth breathing
3. Tongue ties lead to narrow jaws- in fact the published science on this has been repeatedly qualified as follows- it does, but its impact is less than 10%, which means there are far bigger elements in the development of a narrow jaw

Everything has its place, but the claims need to be moderated to fit what we know, not what we hope for
