In this episode of Myo Minute, Chelcie Gjellum breaks down how jaw development is directly influenced by oral posture, especially tongue position. You’ll learn why the tongue is one of the most powerful forces shaping your child’s airway and dental arch—and why low tongue posture can lead to narrowing, crowding, and breathing issues. We cover: • Why crowded teeth are often not genetic • How the jaw develops based on functional forces • The role of tongue posture in palate expansion • What happens when the tongue rests low in the mouth • The connection between narrow palate and airway restriction • Why many children with dental crowding also have breathing challenges • Why early intervention matters (especially under age 10) This is not just about teeth—it’s about function, breathing, and long-term development. If your child is showing signs of crowding or mouth breathing, this episode will help you understand what’s actually going on beneath the surface. 👉 Learn more or start your journey here: breathingintolifeco.com/pl/2147652251 🌐 Website: breathingintolifeco.com About Chelcie: Chelcie Gjellum is a myofunctional therapist and CEO of Breathing Into Life Myofunctional Therapy.
