Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I train my jaw muscles?
Modern diets, primarily composed of soft, processed foods, do not adequately stimulate our chewing muscles. However, the stimulation of these muscles is essential for the proper development and maintenance of facial and jaw structure. Degeneration of the jaw muscles can lead to a less attractive appearance and health issues.
Recent research highlights the benefits of jaw muscle training. Jaw training can expand the breathing and upper jaw, improve tooth orientation, and create a more attractive facial appearance.
