How Does It Work?

The Functional Activator targets the root cause of jaw misalignment by encouraging proper tongue posture and nasal breathing. Unlike braces, which address cosmetic alignment, this tool focuses on the underlying factors helping to promote natural alignment from within.

Enhance Your Breathing

A study comparing traditional orthodontic appliances, including hard occlusal splints, found that addressing tongue posture through soft splints produced superior results in managing TMJ symptoms and improving jaw function.

The Functional Activator is more than a traditional night guard. Its innovative design gently trains the tongue to rest at the roof of the mouth, supporting jaw alignment, nasal breathing, and overall structural balance. For those considering braces, the Functional Activator complements orthodontic care by addressing the root cause of misaligned teeth.

Natural Alignment

The micro-movement mechanism supports proper tongue posture, releasing tension in the TMJ and contributing to overall oral health.
Shape

The shape of the Functional Activator includes a small ramp that encourages the tongue to maintain a high position on the palate, which can have a positive impact on overall oral and postural health. This can also help improve breathing and reduce snoring.

Function

The Functional Activator's goal is to encourage a self-active approach to improving dental and postural health, one in which the user is in charge of exerting the necessary energy and effort to keep the jaw and tongue in the right positions. It does this by encouraging adequate nasal ventilation, swallowing, chewing, and phonation.

Elasticity

The Functional Activator is a double gutter in which the teeth are placed. The deepest gutter holds the teeth of the upper jaw (maxillary). The teeth of the lower jaw (mandible) are placed in the second gutter facing each other. The small ramps encourage proper oral function and posture.

Before & After

The Functional Activator improves tongue posture by guiding it to the palate, promoting natural jaw growth and alignment. Unlike braces or retainers that only reposition teeth, it addresses the root cause, improper tongue posture for holistic and lasting results.

Gave me my life back!

I absolutely love, Love, LOVE this product! It took a bit of getting used. I wear this product while working out and sleeping. I’ve only been able to wear it a few hours my sleeping. I drooled a bit when I started using it because my jaw is crooked lol but now I am so happy with it and my jaw position is realigning. When I was a teenager, I had an ankle injury from playing basketball and subsequently lost two of my back teeth. As time went on post injury, and after serving 10 years in the Army, my jaw began to shift position. The weight of my military equipment and gear, coupled with my previous injuries begun to cause TMJ migraines, tightness in my shoulders that travelled down to my elbows and wrists. The jaw misalignment begin to exasperate my ankle injury due to the overcompensating and slowly throw off my posture as a whole. As a former collegiate athlete and service member it was extremely difficult to reconcile the decline in my athleticism over the years. It felt like I was imprisoned in my own body. Since using this product, I have finally begun to feel embodied in my own physicality again and able to move my body through space and time, consciously and anatomically correct. This makes the results of my training more symmetrical, more efficient and more effective. I am in less pain. I wake up feeling refreshed. No now migraines or tightness in my upper body. It’s just getting better and better over time. I also practice the eye exercises, purchased the vagal nerve stimulator and the Therapeutic Insoles are on the way now. In looking forward to pairing them with my Vivo Barefoot shoes. I recommend this product and anything Annette creates. Her passion for helping her clients achieve a pain-free life is so inspiring and evident in the quality of her products. If you’re on the fence, do it! You won’t regret it. Worth the investment!!!

Questions?

We have answers!

The Functional Activator differs from a traditional night guard in several ways:

Purpose: Night guards are primarily designed to protect teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep. They are typically prescribed for patients with bruxism (teeth grinding) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. On the other hand, the Functional Activator is specifically designed to promote proper tongue posture and nasal breathing while also addressing TMJ-related issues.

Tongue Posture: The main focus of the Functional Activator is to correct and encourage proper tongue posture. It aims to position the tongue at the top of the palate, which can improve breathing and overall oral health. A night guard, on the other hand, does not address tongue posture and focuses solely on protecting teeth from grinding.

Breathing and Posture: The Functional Activator addresses nasal breathing and head/neck posture as part of its approach to improve overall well-being. It encourages optimal nasal ventilation, which can lead to better breathing and reduced snoring. Additionally, it helps re-educate proper posture over time, promoting improved alignment and stability. Night guards do not specifically address these aspects of health.

Custom Fitting: Unlike traditional night guards, the Functional Activator is not custom-fitted. It comes in a standard design, which means it may not have the same personalized fit as a custom night guard. Despite not being custom-fitted, the soft mouthguard has shown to be effective in promoting proper tongue posture and nasal breathing, as supported by the study comparing hard and soft occlusal splint therapy. The study found that soft mouthguard  exhibited superior results, especially when compared to hard occlusal splints, in managing TMJ symptoms.

The Functional Activator is a great tool to improve posture, mobility, and overall fitness. By keeping the tongue in the correct position and focusing on nose breathing, the Functional Activator can help to strengthen the core muscles and develop balance, agility, and stability. This can reduce back pain, improve posture, and increase flexibility. In addition, it can help to improve balance, coordination, and power, allowing for easier breathing and less tension in the jaw and neck. With the combination of nose breathing and the Functional Activator, you can achieve greater overall well-being and improved posture in a shorter amount of time.

The Functional Activator's suitability relies on your specific needs and circumstances. It's often utilized to address airway and posture-related problems, including blocked airways. It's crucial to consider factors such as age, overall health, and pre-existing conditions before using the Functional Activator.

Ultimately, the cost of the Functional Activator is outweighed by the potential health benefits it offers. The Functional Activator is intended to enhance your respiratory function and overall well-being, making it an investment in your own self. Moreover, it is built to be durable, ensuring many years of use.
