What comes first?
What the brain needs comes first.
Nothing is more important than making the brain happy.
First, we make sure that we have the oxygen and fuel that we need to keep our brain alive and content.
One of the most important things that connect the wellness of the body and brain is the swallow. When we are babies, the act of swallowing and sucking brings us both sustenance and comfort. As we get older, the swallow is just as important, yet often under appreciated as we develop the teeth that often "take center stage" in how we perceive our mouths.
The acts of breathing and swallowing are important to wellness and optimal function.
The balance of the nerves of the head and neck (especially the one monitoring the bite and the brain) are also critically important to overall function according to the research being done by those passionate about understanding the brain-body connection.
Monitoring the status of the neurological balance as well as the efficiency of breathing, swallowing and chewing are the most critical components of The Face Place approach to wellness.
Then the other things come next
After we meet the most basic of needs, we can start attempting to grow the bones of the face and arranging the teeth to both look good and feel great.
