    Bad breath almost destroyed my life,I was so depressed to a point that i don’t want to live anymore. After countless of trials i was able to get rid of it permanently with the help of Dr Amade i found on KZread@DrAmade.

    One way to know if your a natural nose breather is if you have ever had a cold and your nose is blocked you feel like you can’t breath! I am that way!

    I'm almost 40yrs old I've been tongue tied my whole life.. I had the surgery over 20 yrs ago but I didn't know u had to do therapy for the tongue afterwards so it won't grow back .. I can now stick my tongue out enough to barely lick my lips.. its causing issues n my life now.. I cant sleep .. its hard to breath my teeth have issues from my tongue resting on them for 40 yrs .. I'm a mouth breather before I'm a nose breather .. I've learned to live with it.. my speech is perfect but I really think I need to get it fixed.. any suggestions.. u don't see alot of adults tongue tied..

    27 this year and just found out that I have a tongue thrust from breathing through my mouth. My ortho was the one to point it out. Now my doctor is sending me for a sleep test. If the meds don’t work, I then have to see a nose, ears and throat specialist. I wish someone told me this when I was a kid

    I'm really just trying to figure this out. I noticed that while meditating I'd have increased gas and burping. But if I placed my tongue differently that would go away. Through putting tongue positioning and breathing in the search bar I became aware of mewing. I'm continuing to learn as I go. Who would have thought tongue placement was this important though? But it's extremely important.

    I have a hard time touching all 3 points of the palate with the tongue. The second point is kind of deep and I have to bend my tongue very hard in order to touch this spot, but that's impossible. What's easier for me is getting the tongue a little back and touching the 2nd and 3rd spot. Or placing the tip on the N spot but then I touch only the 1st and the 3rd spot (this is what I do when I swallow as well). I suppose that's not a proper tongue posture. I hope after fixing my mild to moderate tongue tie things will get better. Thank you for this video!

    I'm seeing a physical therapist for tmj syndrome, specifically upper/lower jaw tension and pain. I have a very dimply chin but this hasn't come up in conversation with her. I wonder if I should mention it. I do find that the tension eases when I bring my lower jaw forward and relax my lips, which I did mention to her. We are focusing on the tongue to roof of mouth though, not lip exercises. The whole thing is truly exhausting.

    Is a tounge tie the biggest or possibly the only reason for young kids to develop really really crooked teeth? Does biting on clothing and toys contribute to crooked teeth? I was told before that bottle feeding after 1 yrs old and my kiddo drak extra milk from sibling until 3 but he didn't have crooked teeth until about 4 yrs old. Or do crooked teeth have anything to do with vitamin difficeny? Thanks.

    Hi Sarah, I had a tongue tie release at the age of 61 and the results were incredible! Immediately after the release while still in the dentist's chair, I noticed a change in my breathing. I could breathe in my upper chest. The tension and tightness in my neck and shoulders were immediately gone. I had been going to physical therapy for this. I felt a release in the lumbar region of my back as well. My sleep has improved significantly and surprisingly I noticed an improvement in my speech - better articulation. I would recommend this procedure to anyone. I would love to talk to you about CST as I would like to provide services for clients who have releases. I am a trained therapist through Upledger. Thank you. Is there some way to contact you?
