We’ve found again and again, once you get the anatomy in place, so much improves. Yet even with these structural fixes, you still need to retrain your muscles for optimal and lasting results. That’s where we come in. 

Each part of our bodies is inherently interconnected. Bone placement impacts muscle development, but the opposite is true as well. If you don’t retrain the muscles in your mouth, you’ll still have functional problems related to incorrect muscle patterns. Which in turn, impacts the formation and growth of bones related to the face and neck.
