Orthodontic treatments, such as braces, can be significantly enhanced with the practice of Jaw Yoga...
...by establishing muscular balance in the mouth-jaw-face system, braces can work faster and more effectively, as the muscles assist rather than resist the orthodontic forces.
Many dental misalignments are caused or maintained by dysfunctions in the muscles of the tongue, lips, and jaw. For example, during swallowing, the tongue exerts a force of 2-3 kg against the roof of the mouth. If this force is misdirected against the teeth, they cannot withstand the pressure and become misaligned. Additionally, unhealthy mouth breathing contributes to "crooked teeth," which can be transformed into healthy nasal breathing through Jaw Yoga.
Why Start Jaw Yoga Before Orthodontic Treatment?
It is best to start Jaw Yoga even before beginning orthodontic treatment to create the optimal conditions for success. This proactive approach helps to prepare the muscles and align them to work harmoniously with the braces. After the orthodontic treatment, Jaw Yoga can also prevent a relapse (reoccurrence of misalignment).
Jaw Yoga is suitable for children as young as five years old, as well as for teenagers and adults who are wearing braces.
Benefits of Jaw Yoga at a Glance:
- Faster effectiveness of braces
- Reduced recurrence of misalignment
- Less pain and tension in the mouth after adjustments
"I had braces for years and unfortunately did not know about the interactions between muscles and teeth at that time. As a result, my teeth shifted back within a few months after orthodontic treatment. With Jaw Yoga, I would have achieved better results back then!" – Julia Reindl, Founder of Jaw Yoga
How Jaw Yoga Works
Jaw Yoga works by balancing the function of the tongue, lips, and jaw muscles, ensuring they support rather than hinder the movement of teeth into their correct positions. The practice also promotes healthy nasal breathing, which is crucial for maintaining proper dental alignment.
Incorporating Jaw Yoga into your orthodontic routine can lead to more efficient treatment outcomes and a lasting, beautiful smile. The holistic approach of Jaw Yoga addresses the root causes of dental misalignment, offering a sustainable solution for optimal dental health.
