We’re building the world’s hub for airway health, jaw development, and facial expansion.
It's human nature to find wider smiles more attractive. Just take a look yourself. Having a wide smile isn't only limited to celebrities or people with "good genes." Palatal expansion can be done at any age. Not only will it make you more attractive, but you'll feel better.
Braces are ruining your face. It's common orthodontic practice to extract premolars and close the spaces with braces. This makes your face flat, gives you a narrow smile, and prevents you from holding proper tongue posture. Bad tongue posture leads to poor facial growth.
The reason your nose is stuffy all the time is because your nasal cavity is narrow. Do this now: open the camera app, flip your camera, take a photo of the roof of your mouth. If it's narrow, you aren't breathing as optimally as our ancestors. Wide palate = wide nasal cavity.
Skeletal palatal expansion will become the new norm next year. Mark my words. Everyone mewing and thumbpulling will switch up.
Quit treating your breathing as something that just is. Your breathing could be improved with the right habits and training, just like you train anything else. Blow into balloons to train your lungs and respiratory muscles. I'm serious.
Thumbpulling isn't anywhere near as effective as the Facegenics FMA protraction device. For forward growth of the upper jaw, you need: - sufficient force - consistent force - over a long period of time Your thumbs can't do this.
Your nose has a bump and looks big because your upper jaw hasn't grown enough. A forward grown upper jaw supports your nose's structure. Proof: Puff up your upper lip with air and check your side profile again. Fix your upper jaw before getting a nose job.
Every single health influencer on here is going to neglect breathing even though you're doing it every waking second of your life. Get a CBCT scan and you'll be humbled.
Mewing isn't going to get you very far if you can't even mew properly in the first place. If your palate is too narrow, maintaining proper tongue posture is going to be difficult. You need to expand the palate first to give your tongue the room it needs to mew.
The fact that you'll need to wear a retainer for the rest of your life after your orthodontic treatment is a sign that somethings not making sense. The real retainer is your tongue. Without enough room, your tongue is going to have a hard time keeping your teeth straight.
This is what optimal facial growth looks like and it's unfortunately not common anymore. It's in your best interest to help the younger generation eat nutritious food and follow myofunctional habits. You're not out of luck if you didn't achieve this. Start the good habits now.
Those people you see online with wide faces and strong cheekbones don't just look good, they breath good too. Form always follows function.
If you're one of those people who feels sleepy no matter how much sleep you get, check for the following: - The roof of your mouth resembles a V more than a U. - You could stick your finger high up in your mouth. - You have buccal corridors. If so, your breathing isn't optimal.
Expanding your upper jaw doesn't just help your teeth fit better, it's making you look and feel better (literally). The maxilla (upper jaw) is known as the beauty bone because it makes up the entire midface. It's width is directly linked to the cheekbones and nasal cavity.
Expanding your palate as an adult is possible. Those expander devices that they use on kids now exist for adults and they're effective. Not only do they make you look good, but you'll breath better. Jaw surgery could be avoided in many cases.
I'm calling out all the health gurus and biohackers on here. You focus on diet and other health optimizations but you're forgetting the single most important thing: your breathing. You breathe your entire life, yet prioritize it last. Breathing should be your first biohack.
The other day I went back to my elementary school to see my old teachers. I ran into my kindergarten teacher on accident and she brought me into her classroom to have chat. I couldn't believe my eyes... More than half of the kids in the class had crooked teeth and narrow jaws.
Ever find yourself sleepy during the day or you just can't seem to wake up rested? You might not be oxygenating enough in your sleep. You could be the healthiest guy on the planet but your health could only compensate so much for your poor biomechanics. Don't forget your jaws.
If I catch you with your mouth open in public, I'll tell you to close it. Don't let me catch you slipping!
If you ever catch a kid mouth breathing, don't be afraid to tell them or their parents. Consider yourself a hero.
