Tongue elevation
exercise is easier
with Myospots.
Tongue elevation exercise (known also as mewing) is a technique that is used to improve facial aesthetics and jawline. It is also a key exercise in Face Yoga and involves placing the tongue against the roof of the mouth while closing the lips (forming a lip seal).
The benefits of tongue elevation exercise include a well-defined jawline, improved alignment of the chin and nose and improved nasal breathing.
What are MyoSpots and how do they work?
- Myospots are small, dissolvable, adhesive pads that adhere easily to the roof of the mouth by gently forcing them with your thumb against the hard palate (2-3 mm behind the two front teeth).
- Once adhered, the spot stimulates your tongue involuntarily and unconsciously to elevate and touch it. It acts therefore as a tool to GUIDE and REMIND your tongue. It GUIDES the tongue to the correct spot (where it needs to elevate and rest on the roof of the mouth) and it also REMINDS the tongue to keep elevating until the spot is completely dissolved under the effect of saliva.
- Each spot takes 45-50 min to dissolve completely, providing almost 1 hour of extensive tongue exercise with each spot.
- Using 2-3 spots every day for 8 to 10 weeks helps in creating a tongue elevation habit that is associated with a lip seal and nasal breathing.
- Furthermore, the gentle pressure exerted by the tongue on the surface of the hard palate provides good resistance exercise that results overtime in increasing tongue muscles strength.
- This tongue strength is needed to maintain normal swallowing and speech functions and to maintain patent airways while awake and asleep.
- The gentle pressure exerted by the tongue while resting on the palate induces the natural expansion of the maxilla, particularly in young children.
Place a MYOSPOT on your, dry, clean thumb.
Force the spot against the anterior part of the palate with gentle force for 10 Orphan words.
Remove your thumb and keep pressing the SPOT using your tongue until it dissolves.
Advantages of Myospots induces exercise over routine tongue elevation exercise
User convenience
Myospots are sweetened with stevia, have nice colours and fruit flavours to make them appealing to both adults and children and to increase user convenience and satisfaction. They can be introduced to kids as a kind of treat rather than a treatment.
Ease of use by users of all ages
Tongue elevation exercise has always been challenging and close guidance is needed to make sure the exercise is being done correctly and that the tongue is elevating and resting on the correct spot. With Myospots, things are much easier as the adhered spot guides the tongue to the correct place it needs to rest on.
Better adherence
A common problem with all types of exercise is dedication. With Myospots, you do not need to dedicate a time for your exercise. All you need to do is to place the spot on the palate and your tongue will do the exercise unconsciously while you are doing your daily routine. Using Myospots, one can practice tongue elevation exercise while reading, driving, working or watching TV.
A standardized exercise
Each spot provides 45-50 min of tongue elevation exercise. Accordingly, by using the prescribed number of spots for the specified period of time you can be more confident of the outcome.
Unconscious exercise
The unconscious tongue elevation exercise is also very efficient in growing an unconscious habit, since changing the habit of mouth breathing into nasal breathing and growing a new habit of tongue elevation and lip seal requires the creation of a new habit in the unconscious mind that continues while both awake and asleep.
