@honestmyo: 5 signs your palate may be too narrow… 1. You mouth breathe 2. You struggle with sleep or snoring 3. Your teeth are crowded 4. Your tongue has trouble fitting comfortably on the roof of your mouth 5. Keeping your lips closed at rest feels difficult And here is a fun way to get a rough idea of your palate width at home. Grab a pear or apple. Then take a bite, but do not bite all the way through. Look at the impression your upper teeth left behind. Measure the width of your upper jaw in mm. Then compare it to my palate width chart in my growth guide. Is this a diagnosis? No, not at all. But it can give you another clue about how much room your tongue has inside your mouth. And that matters because your palate is also the floor of your nasal airway and the space where your tongue is supposed to rest. Especially in kids, a narrow palate may be one piece of a bigger picture involving breathing, sleep, tongue posture, oral function, and jaw development. The earlier we notice those patterns, the earlier we can ask better questions and decide whether an evaluation is needed. I made a FREE Growth Guide PDF that helps you figure out if there is enough space in your mouth for your tongue. It can be for you or your child. Comment “GUIDE” and I’ll send it to you! #PalateHealth #OralWellness #TonguePosture #BreathingPatterns #SleepQuality
