About PRIMAL AIR, LLC: OMT & Breathing Retraining
You may have seen us around the Sun Prairie area for over 30 years now, and we have a good idea about who you are too. A little about us, first of all, we are a mother/son team that wants to help the community to breathe better through facial exercises, Called Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy or (OMT).
Darwinian Dentists have identified a huge decrease in the size of the sinuses (airway) over the last 125 years. Primal Air, OMT and Breathing Retraining focuses on regaining that lost ground.My name is Shirley Gutkowski. I’m a nationally known author and international speaker. As America’s Dental Hygienist my passion for prevention is practically legendary.
Good candidates for OMT or breathing retraining are identified by a good intake at your practice. Those who exhibit anxiety, sighing, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or vague symptoms of pain or apprehensiveness are candidates.
Dental patients with a high vaulted maxilla, sleep apnea, mouth breathing, or habits like digit sucking, are also good candidates.
Using OMT and Buteyko techniques will habituate the tongue to the roof of the mouth as a natural landing spot. In children, the use of the tongue in this way applies pressure to the maxilla to naturally increase its size. In adults, OMT can improve the quality of life by improving breathing and swallowing. Poor tongue placement or use can interfere with sinus development and nasal breathing. The floor of the sinus is also the roof of the mouth. Enlargement of lymphoid tissue may actually be a consequence as opposed to a cause of these initial dysfunctions.
