After using this for a month I can definitely feel a difference in how my tongue suctions to the roof of my mouth! I have stopped clenching my jaw at night and no longer need to sleep with a mouth guard. It is a bit disappointing to see how expensive this product is given that a stainless steel straw is quite cheap to purchase and really what we are paying for is the silicone nozzle. I do not foresee the nozzle lasting for more than a year, it I
I got this for my husband with little faith he would actually use it. He is not usually in to this kind of stuff. But he’s been using it everyday and loves it. He is noticing that he is able to close his mouth more naturally. Mind you he is 32 and struggled with it his whole life! So pretty cool! Can’t wait to see what even more time will do!
If you're anything like me you're probably struggling with chronic tensions due to muscular asymmetries.
A major cause of these asymmetries is where your tongue is in your mouth. If it's pressed properly against the palate your body will be able to relax in space as the cranium is being held. The neck, torso, diaphragms etc don't need to tighten to compensate.
This is a wonderful tool that teaches you how to hold your tongue in the right position by forcing you to adopt the proper swallowing patterns. Before using this straw, I had no proprioceptive sense I was doing it properly. I can say for most of my adult life I've been doing it wrong. Nowadays I can literally feel how my tongue moves in my mouth exactly like how they show in the demo reel. Particularly when drinking.
Bodily tension has gone down, sleep has been better, respiration rate has decreased by a breath over a minute, body feels much more balanced (which is primary reason I decided to buy this). So many benefits downstream from the mouth.
This thing basically simulates a giant nipple and re-teaches you first-foundations tongue patterns. Guys like Movmed talk about this. I'm sure books like Jaws and the PRI guys have similar talking points. Definitely the Mew dentists too.
Highly recommended. It's not just about fixing your snoring patterns. It's restoring proper tongue position.
The kids love all the colors and encourages them to use their nozzle!
So easy for my son to use. Can't wait to see the results over time.
