I only learned about myofunctional therapy and TMJ therapy within the last 48 hours. Which is shocking since I have apnea, allergies, asthma, ADHD, crooked teeth and migraines. I'm both frustrated and excited.

Thank you so much for this discussion. I found Sarah on a podcast yesterday. My mind is blown, in a fantastic way! I can’t wait to learn more. What a wonderful rabbit hole! I’m a dental hygienist with 31 years experience. My patients need this Information/help. I’m grateful to have found Sarah!

This was a very informative discussion. I was trained by Sarah. She shares current research & has created a fabulous Myofunctional Therapist training course. I'm happy to find Dr Burhenne is close to my Myofunctional Therapy practice, I appreciate his knowledge & philosophies for referral.

My mind has been blown by this. So many of the symptoms discussed my husband, my children and I have. Some of us have tongues ties other tmj or sleep apnea or speech issues. And lung issues in our family. Both my husband and I had our tonsils/adenoids removed. Where do we start as a family?

Whitney, I would recommend scheduling a consult with Sarah (link in the video description). This is definitely not a kids-only issue, and her team may be able to help pinpoint whether or not myofunctional therapy can help with the issues you're having. I also wrote a book detailing the many ways that sleep-disordered breathing, like sleep apnea, can be addressed. You can see it here: askthedentist.com/the-book/

I recently discovered you, Dr. Burhenne. I absolutely love your demeanor and your philosophy; I’m so excited to learn more!

Thank you for this video it is extremely helpful. Question what would be the right way to breathe when running and exercise?

Very informative discussion Mark, thank you. One topic you spoke about was how the nasal passage humidifies and purifies the air before it enters the lungs. As one who suffers from Alopecia Universalis I’ve been unable to find any info regarding whether or not this affects the cilia responsible for the purification. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Wow, glad you are asking the detailed insightful questions! Yes, as a matter of fact, the cilia are affected by mouth breathing. Mucus is the first line of defense, and the cilia move back and forth, sweeping moving inhaled/ingested pathogens at a rate of 60 feet per day and up to 16 beats per second and able to move things against the forces of gravity. This rate is greater at the opening to the nose and less further down the line. Nose breathing, the turbinates, and the scrolling of air that they create are key in cilia movement and function. The carrier is the mucous, and nose breathing keeps the mucous optimal for efficient transport!
