Oralift and asymmetry of the face (click to see more)

Most people have some asymmetry on the face. Will Oralift help with this?

Yes, Oralift can help to correct any asymmetries.

When there is asymmetry on the face, and you bite down on the blocks of the Oralift device, the forces are not the same on the two sides. When the muscles deprogram to form a new freeway space, it is normal for the freeway space to be smaller on one side than the other giving the feeling one side is closer than the other. You should not try to adjust this. As long as you stop any parafunctional habits, the deprogrammed muscles should correct the asymmetry. This is not an easy task and sometimes can take repeated use of Oralift over a number of years, but it does happen. Having said that, it sometimes happens quite quickly. Everyone is an individual and the response is individual too.

If you want to speed up the process of improving asymmetry, you can use deep massage or tools that help to break up adhesions.

In the study published in 2018. 4 out of the 5 people noticed their asymmetry had improved after 8 months.
