In the video, experts discuss the connection between Breath Taming and myofunctional orthodontics. Emese Viktória Balogh, Breath-Taming breathing coach, and Dr. Nóra Vince, dentist, support children’s health with a holistic approach through their joint therapeutic work. The cooperation between correct breathing and orthodontic treatment is key to achieving lasting results.
A holistic approach to breathing and dentistry can help improve people’s overall health. Breathing exercises together with proper dental treatment can contribute to a better quality of life and lasting results.
This summary is based on the Rádió Bézs Történetek program, which you can also listen to in the video below. The host was Kriszta Matz-Molnár.

The goal of the breath-taming method is to build awareness of breathing and improve it, helping to reduce stress and support overall health. This approach can also be particularly useful for athletes. (Oxygen Advantage method)
02:16
Holistic dentistry takes into account the patient’s overall health, not just dental issues. This makes it possible to apply complex therapies.
04:40
It’s important for dentists to pay attention to nutrition and breathing habits. These factors greatly influence the health of the teeth and the patient’s overall condition.
06:05
The order of therapeutic treatments is crucial for both children and adults, in order to achieve faster and more effective results. Breathing therapy and proper professional cooperation play a significant role in this process.
06:31
The shortness and tightness of the lingual frenulum can be a determining factor in orthodontic outcomes. Restoring proper tongue function is essential before the therapeutic process begins.
07:49
Mouth breathing is a common problem among children, and medical examinations can help uncover its causes. Ensuring nasal breathing is essential for any further therapies.
11:12
Cooperation between professionals is essential for achieving effective therapeutic results. The holistic approach takes into account the complex needs of children.
12:08
Myofunctional orthodontics influences jaw development through biological forces . It is a gentle and effective method that requires the cooperation of various professionals.
12:45
Myofunctional orthodontic appliances use the strength of the muscles around the mouth to guide jaw growth in the right direction. This method is gentle for children.
15:06
Alongside orthodontic treatment, transitioning to nasal breathing is also important, and breathing exercises are used for this as well. These exercises help restore the strength of the breathing muscles, and proper biomechanics, biochemistry, and psychophysiology.
17:31
Myofunctional exercises (here referring to exercises such as facial gymnastics) can be especially useful in treating breathing problems such as asthma and allergies. These exercises can be applied very well across different age groups. (I have also completed training specifically in myofunctional exercises for sleep apnea.)
18:12
Children’s regular snoring is a serious problem, for which it is advisable to consult a specialist. Mouth breathing negatively affects children’s facial, jaw, dental, and respiratory development.
19:00
The importance of the correct tongue position is significant, as it affects both anatomical development and breathing quality. The negative developmental direction caused by improper tongue position will limit the child’s breathing potential. (anatomical constraint)
19:30
Nasal breathing has a filtering function, helps filter out allergens, and reduces the risk of respiratory infections. The gas produced in the sinuses -nitric oxide- helps fight bacteria and viruses.
20:00
A narrow, gothic-arched palate can lead to constricted nasal passages, which is one of the common causes of frequent illness in children. Improving proper breathing technique can reduce the need for orthodontic treatment, provided the tongue is also functioning optimally.
24:15
The importance of breathing awareness and practice is significant for children’s development. The role of parents is essential for effectively learning and applying breathing exercises.
26:21
Doing breathing exercises remains important even after orthodontic treatment, since every part of our modern world seems set on undermining functional nasal breathing. Learning proper breathing technique helps children develop in a healthy way and prevents respiratory problems.
27:01
Parents’ active involvement in supporting their child’s breathing exercises aids development. Practicing together motivates children to keep up with regular practice.
29:19
The consequences of poor breathing, such as attention problems and deteriorating sleep quality, have a serious impact on children’s development. Mouth breathing and snoring are common problems that need to be addressed.
30:18
Children’s breathing problems can have serious consequences, including effects on growth and dental health. It’s important for parents to watch for these signs and consult a specialist.
30:23
Poor breathing can affect children’s height, as it doesn’t allow enough time for growth. That’s why it’s important to teach correct breathing from a young age.
31:48
Snoring in adults often signals breathing problems, for which breathing training is also recommended. Taming the breath can help improve sleep quality.
32:26
Crowded teeth cause not only aesthetic problems but also difficulties with oral hygiene. Proper dental care and orthodontic treatment are essential to prevent future problems.
36:23
Mouth breathing has a significant impact on children’s health and behavior (e.g. it can cause ADHD-like symptoms), so it’s important for parents to keep an eye on this process. Cooperation between professionals plays a key role in resolving it.
37:42
To recognize problems arising from mouth breathing in time, it’s important for parents to consult specialists. This can help prevent the condition from worsening or deepening further, and allows us to achieve results with less invasive methods.
38:32
For children’s healthy development, it’s important for parents to bring their children in for check-ups from a young age. This helps ensure early detection of problems.
41:17
Cooperation between different professionals, such as dentists and speech therapists, is essential. This cooperation supports children’s complex therapy and recovery.
42:26
Observing children’s breathing habits is crucial for their development. During speech therapy assessments, the case history is important, as is taking additional information into account beyond the standard protocol.
42:29
Understanding children’s breathing characteristics can help in creating an appropriate treatment plan. Different breathing patterns, such as overbreathing or mouth breathing, may point to different problems.
43:34
The role of myofunctional trainers is important in children’s development. These trainers support proper oral function from a young age.
44:12
Late kindergarten age and early school age are the most effective periods to start myofunctional orthodontics. More aware children respond more easily to therapeutic interventions, so it’s important that, throughout the process, the children also gain an understanding of the reasons behind it, at their own level.
