- Ear problems and headaches
Chronic ear and head pain can be caused by poorly functioning
Jaws *(TMJ dysfunction). Incorrect swallowing and mouth breathing
can often be the primary cause. (see Video section). The TRAINER
System can be helpful to treat these problems.
- Benefits of nose breathing
Mouth breathing has been shown to decrease oxygen uptake and
make infections more common. Health benefits from changing to nose
breathing are well known and the TRAINER System is specifically
designed to treat mouth breathing problems.
- Posture and the trainer system
Many Physiotherapists and Chiropractors will notice that your
child’s posture is incorrect. Improving nose breathing and jaw
function often helps to improve posture. This is an added bonus of
the TRAINER System. Supervision by an appropriate professional may
be needed.
- Speech problems and the trainer system
Speech is directly affected by tongue position and the function
of the facial muscles. The TRAINER System often improves speech in
conjunction with speech therapies.
Allergies cause chronic mouth breathing and consequently poor
jaw growth and crowded teeth. Major allergens are dairy products.
It is recommended to keep intake of dairy products in children to
a minimum.
