By restoring nasal breathing it is possible to reverse the situation and to eliminate the associated side-effects and problems.

This is achieved by teaching the patient a series of breathing exercises which are designed to raise the levels of retained CO2 in the body and in so doing, sending a message to the brain that all is well again and that the trigger can return to normal.

Retained CO2 is raised through special breathing exercises

In addition, specific attention is paid to the origins of the dysfunctionality and strategies put in place to avoid the situation recurring.

The Benefits

By restoring nasal breathing as the norm, the following benefits will accrue:

1. Dental health will improve.
   
   
2. Treatment will take place with less interruption as there will be less coughs, colds, throat infections etc. to delay progress.
   
   
3. Relapse will be significantly reduced as correct tongue position provides a 'natural retainer' that can't be forgotten or lost.
   
   
4. Associated problems such as difficulty with swallowing and talking will improve.
   
   
5. Overall health will be improved, less tension, better concentration etc.
   
   
6. Smooth muscle throughout the body will again function normally bringing relief from such diverse disorders as gastric reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory problems such as asthma, sinusitis, bronchitis etc.
   
   
7. Sleep patterns will improve as there will no longer be the need for the brain to interpose apnea periods in an attempt to normalize CO2 levels .
