DolphinGremlin 938 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 So orthotropics focuses on how to achieve ideal facial development i.e. a better looking face. The supposed goal is to minimize vertical facial growth and maximize horizontal growth so instead of narrow flatter faces with sagging features and weaker chins you would get broader faces with stronger features. Treatment focuses on exercises that correct head and oral posture. A big part of it is not breathing through your mouth but through your nose with the tongue at the roof of the mouth. Mouth breather facial development: Year and a half apart sisters with different orofacial posture. I bring this up because I've seen it getting a lot of traction on the internet for when adults supposedly use it to correct their facial features. So what do you guys think about it? Would you ever try it? IMO I actually believe this is true for younger children who are still developing. But I kind of think it's BS for adults whose features aren't developing that much anymore.

Caiii 1,420 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I've been doing it for the past few weeks. I'm already taping my mouth shut to get used to breathing through my nose, might as well do this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the benefit of breathing through your nose that you’re taping your mouth shut? i'm a mouth breather and apparently this isnt ideal when im practicing meditation to control my anxiety, so i just brute force myseldfinto breathing through the nose; slows down frequency and makes breaths deeper, better temp regulation, and as a plus you arent opening your mouth which makes it easier to mew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides possibly encouraging forward facial growth for a better looking face, you can breathe easier because it's more efficient and it's better for your teeth.
