1 THREE STEPS TO SUCCESS ICE TE EV REC OM PA THE LON GR U N ED IN ND ME NTE D MEDIC AL D THE SOLUTION AGAINST snoring sleep apnea CMD pain swallowing disorders etc. patented medical product easy causal effective R WINNE

2 Step 1 FaceFormer / Facy Start position Lip wedge Placing the FaceFormer The FaceFormer is placed in the oral vestibulum. 1. The mouth shield is behind the lips and in front of the teeth. 2. The lip wedge is directed outwards. 3. The lips surround the lip wedge relaxedly. Position of the tongue tip 1. The tip of the tongue is located a few millimeters behind the upper incisors on the palate. 2. There, the tongue tip feels a small bulge. It does not touch the teeth. 3. This position of the tongue tip is always maintained. It is the natural, correct posture and must become a habit. Mouth shield

3 Head position and straightened neck The head is upright and the neck is stretched. This natural proper head posture is always maintained and must become a habit. It determines the head balance, body posture and body statics. Posture of the lower jaw The upper incisors are in front of the lower ones.* Do not push the lower outward. The temporomandibular joints adjust to a natural, relieved position. Nasal breathing is essential The nasal breathing accompanies all exercises. Get used to breathing through your nose. * Exception: On pre-displacement of the lower jaw the usual position can be retained. Stretched neck Chin-neck-angle ca. 90

4 Step 2 Exercises Basic exercise 1. Press the lips firmly together for 6 seconds. 2. While the lips remain pressed together, bite molars briefly together and swallow once. Always maintain the proper tongue position. 3. Afterwards, relax your lips for 6 seconds. Repeat the exercise 20 times. A Press lips together B Relax lips Keep in mind! 3 times a day 6 seconds tension and relaxation Tongue position Head balance Nose breathing 20 repetitions per exercise

5 Pulling exercise 1. Press the lips firmly together for 6 seconds. 2. Meanwhile, use the thumb and forefinger to pull the lip wedge forward. 3. While the lips remain pressed together, bite molars briefly together and swallow once. Always maintain the proper tongue position. 4. Afterwards, relax your lips for 6 seconds. Repeat the exercise 20 times. i You can suck in the mouth shield. A high underpressure is being formed in the mouth and throat. Right and left hand alternate while pulling. Keep in mind! 3 times a day 6 seconds tension and relaxation Tongue position Head balance Nose breathing 20 repetitions per exercise

6 Step 3 Nightly application Due to the training your nasal breathing improves noticeably after about 2-3 weeks. Additionally, insert the FaceFormer now also at night. The nightly application promotes Nasal breathing and mouth closure Underpressure in mouth and throat Strengthening of muscles and tissues Stabilization of the posture and tension of the tongue, soft palate and throat Automation of movement patterns

7 THE PATH TO YOUR SUCCESS Tongue tip upwards Stretched neck How to practice Method 3 times a day 6 Nasal breathing FaceFormer training at least 6 months seconds tension bite together / swallow 6 seconds relaxation 20 repetitions per exercise Practice daily for at least 6 months, even though success occurs quickly. In rare cases, skin irritation may occur in the mouth. Temporarily reduce the training to 8-10 repetitions, 2-3 times a day. Then continue training as described. In addition, you can apply lip balm on both sides of the FaceFormer's mouth shield.

8 i More info Continuous FaceFormer training has an effective influence on cranial nerve function and brain performance, neurophysiological patterning, coordination, tension of tissues and muscles, forming of underpressure in mouth and throat, functions in the mouth, throat and facial regions, body posture, body movement and sensory abilities. Causal treatments, such as the FaceFormer therapy, are designed to achieve positive changes that ensue gradually with lasting success. Corrected functions can replace medications and aids, likewise surgeries can be avoided. Therefore, causal therapies are generally preferable to symptomatic treatments. Often the FaceFormer therapy brings positive changes after only a few days or weeks. To stabilize the new postures and movement patterns, the training should be maintained for at least 6 months. FaceFormer-applications Swallowing disorders (dysphagia) Malfunctions of the tongue Impaired mastication Disorders of speech, speaking and fluency Avoiding thumb or pacifier sucking and lip biting behaviour Muscle weakness or paralysis of the mouth and / or face Before or after face, jaw and tongue surgery Malpositioned teeth, jaw anomalies Tooth grinding (Bruxism) Disorders of temporomandibular joints Dental restorations and implants Sleep disorder, snoring and sleep apnea Sudden deafness, Tinnitus Vertigo, Meniére s disease Pressure imbalance of the middle ear Prevention of mouth breathing and support of nasal breathing Migraine

10 ? Good to know Prevention and treatment of causes are the primary goal of any medical aid. Human health can thus be protected and can also be stabilised. The FaceFormer therapy developed by us aims at the causative correction of health disorders starting from the head. Eating, drinking, swallowing, breathing, jaw movement and head balance are vital functions of the head, neck and throat region. Disorders of these functions have a significant influence on human health. They can cause aberrations, stress and pain in various body regions. FaceFormer therapy focuses on the correction of such malfunctions and their implications. Natural movement patterns and postures are practised, learned and stabilized. Thus, the FaceFormer therapy follows the ideal of a causal neurophysiological treatment. The FaceFormer exercises are effective and easy to perform. First successes often occur after only a few days. Let it motivate and inspire you and consistently maintain the FaceFormer program for 6 months. In this way, the newly acquired skills are automated and become a habit. We wish you much success and are happy to be there for you. Dr. Klaus Berndsen Sabine Berndsen
