“Nasal Breathing” Lengu board game

The game disc contains 11 nasal stimulating exercises with supportive video tutorials, plus one bonus sector.

• Lengu game ‘Nasal Breathing’ is a playful aid featuring exercises that stimulate nasal breathing to help sense the movement of airflow through the mouth and nose, differentiate between mouth and nasal breathing and encourage the achievement of relaxed lip closure.
• Nasal breathing is considered the physiological, natural way to breathe. Mouth breathing, however, is the most common cause of dental occlusion issues and myofunctional disorders.
• The habit of mouth breathing, which can develop at any age, is often caused by nasal obstructions (eg enlarged adenoids and/or tonsils, nasal turbinate hypertrophy, chronic or allergic rhinitis).
• Therefore, it is essential to have a doctor examine whether the child can breathe freely through their nose before starting exercises aimed at promoting nasal breathing.

GAME OBJECTIVES:

• distinguishing between nasal and oral breathing;
• encouraging the habit of nasal breathing;
• training the lips and the orbicularis oris muscle;
• stimulating the pharyngeal constrictor muscles and the back of the tongue.
