On-screen text

It's called the "Two Pinky Test" When the human tongue is as strong as it needs to be to help you breathe better while you sleep you should be able to suction the entire body of the tongue to the roof of the mouth, with enough room underneath to insert two clean pinky's and not touch the underside of your tongue.

Simply slide your pinky’s onto the top of the lower molars and see if the tops of your fingers hit the bottom of your tongue. When the tongue is weak, it can and will wreck your sleep! Orofacial myofunctional therapy is step one to get your tongue stronger…go look it up🙂 #airwaycoach #breathebetterwhileyousleepbook #sleep #sleepdisorderedbreathing
