AIRWAY WIDTH BE IMPROVED?
Biobloc Orthotropics® has been scientifically proven to substantially open the patient’s airway and change unfavorable vertical growth to favorable horizontal growth – unlike Herbst, MARA, Bionator, Frankel, Twin Block, etc..
Often refereed to as “surgery without a scalpel” Biobloc Orthotropics® can instan tly close open bites, reduce lower face heights, and produce virtually perfect facial balance for young children.
In this video series, you will see case after case and article after article validating these claims.

Orthotropics can't fix an open bite so she's likely headed for surgery anyway.

Biobloc Orthotropics can help to reduce open bites caused by misaligned teeth and reduce jaw misalignment. It is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment method.

This girl presented with a chronic mouth-breathing pattern in the early mixed dentition. The posterior cross bite and the anterior open bite are typical of the mouth-breathing pattern. Using Orthotropic therapy using a series of Biobloc appliances the upper arch was expanded and the upper incisors advanced. The mandibular posture was then corrected with a lip seal and nasal breathing. The pattern remained stable long term as the patient maintained the nasal breathing pattern, a lip seal and the teeth in or near contact at rest. http://old.myoresearch.com/cms/index.php?id=152,211,1,0,1,0

Open bite
Associated with a forward resting tongue posture, an open bite will often return if tongue posture is not treated by widening the dental arches to provide alternative room. Unless there is a very pronounced forward tongue posture it is easy to close a gap in the bite with fixed appliances and vertical elastics. Open bite can be treated with TADs and vertical elastics, but treatment is more difficult with Invisalign or other aligner systems and usually requires unsightly attachments on all the front teeth. Treatment with Invisible braces systems is also more difficult.
WARNING: closing an open bite against a pronounced forward tongue posture or thrusting tongue can jiggle the teeth backward and forward. This can destroy the roots. http://invisalignlondonorthodontist.co.uk/self-assessment.htm

Buteyko South Texas
Laurie has over 20 years’ experience as a dental hygienist. For years she observed the effects of the tongue on the teeth, and the increase of patients needing orthodontics. The observation was personal as her own son had a tongue thrust which was addressed at an early age with an orthodontic appliance. Unfortunately the appliance was doomed to fail as she later learned her son is a mouth breather, and was propping his mouth open in his sleep with his tongue.
Surgery to correct his jaw and open bite was the only solution offered by the specialists. Laurie then learned of the Buteyko Breathing method, and Myofunctional therapy, both of which work together to open the airway and stop the tongue thrust. Laurie has taken the course with Patrick McKeown to treat breathing disorders, and Orofacial Myology courses to correct the swallow.
Laurie is located in the South Texas region, located near Corpus Christi Texas. Prospective clients as far as Laredo Texas are in her area. Contact her at 361-236-4191 or for more information.
