I had expected this water bottle to just help train my tongue. I was pleasantly surprised that it also worked the muscles on the back of my throat.
Hasn’t impacted my or my child’s snoring within 2 months but don’t think it’s damaged anything.
Wonderful product! I highly recommend it.
This straw is helping our 13 year old son breathe through his nose because he is starting to hold his tongue to the roof of his mouth. His dentist explained that his teeth are very delayed in falling out because his tongue is not positioned properly, so it is not pushing those teeth out.
After 2 days of using this, his teeth started wiggling after they stopped for almost 2 years. He’s excited at the possibility that the dentist might not need to pull those teeth after all.
Im not sure if this works or not. I feel like maybe I am breathing slightly better at night, but I’m still waking up with a very dry mouth. I also feel like it makes my tongue and roof of mouth break out or maybe it’s just not used to it yet. Just slightly, but the two days I forgot the bottle at home, my tongue and mouth felt better. Barely a month, if that, of almost daily use so I’ll keep at it.
I highly recommend this device to anyone who wants to improve their quality of life. My tongue is stronger and it now naturally sits pressed to the roof of my mouth instead of the bottom of my mouth.
It takes a bit of time and practice to get the technique right. Unfortunately it is possible to suck water out of the straw while using it incorrectly, so learning the proper technique is very important. I watched their video on YouTube for this. Also, the water stream is lower than other methods of drinking, so some patience is needed especially when very thirsty.
I think the price should be lower. I know that if we compare it to a medical device then the price seems reasonable, but it prevents me from buying it for friends and family. When I take my water bottle out I have to be careful that I don’t lose it, damage it, etc. Also, the water bottle leaks when closed so I have to treat it more of like a stanley cup than like a water bottle. The device is a small thing similar to a pacifier. I think the profit margin on it must be extremely high.
