Why do I feel some pressure on my front teeth in the morning?

Question

I did the FaceFormer exercises regularly and also wore it at night. Unfortunately, I always had a feeling of pressure and slight pain on my front teeth in the morning. Why is that?

Answer

The FaceFormer’s mouth shield acts like a membrane and closes the oral cavity inwards.It is also pressed against the front teeth.If these are not inserted harmoniously into the dental arch, you will feel the pressure you described in the morning. However, the formation of negative pressure in the mouth and throat is essential in order to achieve the desired results with FaceFormer therapy.

However, the pressure on the teeth is only applied for a limited period of time and has a positive effect on tooth alignment. This is an important reason why dentists and orthodontists also recommend and successfully use FaceFormer therapy.The causes of misaligned teeth are often the same as for other problems that occur in the mouth, throat, face or shoulder/neck region.

The effect you describe is therefore positive and a sign that the method is being used correctly. You are training functions that are misdirected but can be corrected.Such changes are also noticeable and persist at the beginning until you have achieved a certain degree of success.

We advise you to continue the therapy with patience and consistency. The success is out of all proportion to the minor irritations that you will feel temporarily along the way.
