BENEFITS of Mouth Taping

---

The use of tape is to seal the lips together during sleep to promote nasal breathing. 

We’ve all been there. We know the unpleasantries of waking up with a dry mouth, bad breath or your face in a puddle of your own saliva. When mouth taping, the saliva is safely able to do its job IN YOUR MOUTH and keep the moisture and bacterial growth under control. It’s that simple. 

Nasal breathing promotes better oral and jaw muscle tone and position, that aids in increased air to the lungs, oxygen in the blood, and saliva in the mouth. 

The tape helps keep your muscles in a better posture ultimately reducing the collapsibility of your airway. This increases your ability to have a deep, restful and snore free sleep. 

Some cases of snoring do not apply, ask your dentist if you are a good candidate.

Nitric oxide is a vasodilator gas that is naturally produced in your sinuses and other parts of your body. Nose breathing activates the production of nitric oxide and carries it into your lungs where it works to dilate your vessels which increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and improves brain function.

Saliva plays an important role in keeping your oral cavity free from disease. When you mouth breathe, you leave the structures in your mouth vulnerable to bacteria and disease. By nature of the tape, this significantly decreases the chances of disease.
