Signs of Airway Dysfunction

Airway health benefits extend beyond the mouth:

Chronic TMJ Pain

Jaw discomfort may indicate your airway is restricted.

Teeth Grinding & Clenching

The body’s way of keeping the airway open at night.

Snoring & Mouth Breathing

Disrupted sleep may signal compromised airflow.

Nasal Breathing Difficulty

Struggling to breathe through the nose contributes to inflammation and fatigue.

Immune System Weakness

Poor sleep increases illness 
and slows recovery

Chronic Inflammation

Linked to pain, headaches, 
and systemic health issues

Cognitive Disruptions

Brain fog, irritability, and 
difficulty concentrating

Long-Term Risks

High blood pressure, heart disease, and weight gain

The Impact of Poor Breathing on Health

A restricted airway means less oxygen, leading to fragmented sleep and exhaustion—even after a full night in bed. Without deep, restorative sleep, your body struggles to heal, function, and fight inflammation.
