Evelyn's Toothpillow Journey
Since December Evelyn has been on a ToothPillow journey!
She was my thumb sucker until she was 5. She has a really high palate and crossbite. I’m also guessing she was a mouth breather at night.
I’ve been engulfed in oral/airway health for years and we all now see a biologic dentist (Natural Smiles). When I heard about ToothPillow and their services I was intrigued. It’s a 2 year program that comes with a device, dentist to check in on us, and myofunctional therapy. All virtual! I have resources local but I’m always someone that loves the ease of doing things at home.
She wears it nightly and it helps her tongue position to rest on the roof only her mouth (up against the device). This helps with positioning of her upper and lower jaw. We spray her nose nightly with xlear nasal spray to help her nose breathe, which is sooo important. And, when we remember she wears the device for an hour during the day and also perform myofunctional exercises to help her mouth develop.
It’s so exciting to see these changes and I can’t wait see how things continue to change!
