Lip Seal Exercises

#1 Post by ~CanadianChick~ »

Has anyone heard of these??

I thought my ortho was kidding when he told me to do these 3 times a day for 10 minutes each...

I purse my lips together and bite on my back teeth, tounge on the roof of my mouth. Then I hold for 10 seconds and release for 10 seconds. I do this for 10 minutes at a time, 3 times a day.....

Has anyone done this?? Does it really work. The ortho assistant said it was an easier way then to take teeth out. I guess it pushes my teeth back more.
