Cranial Facial Release and Orodental Health 

Cranial Facial Release and Orodental Health

Oral and dental health is crucial for a healthy body. It is the food you churn and chew that gives you energy for the day. If dental health is compromised, the whole body takes a hit.  

One unique thing about the oral region is that there is a variety of different structures packed within a very small space. All the highly specialized structures of the mouth perform extremely detailed activities.  

The integral components of mastication, that is, the tongue and the teeth, rely heavily on the overall growth of the orofacial regions. Abruptions and disturbances in the soft and hard tissues of the face, nose, and head translate into dental deformities.  

How Cranial Facial Release Can Improve Dental Health? 

The main of the Cranial Facial Release technique is to remove the cranial fixations and allow the bones to move in their natural rhythm. The endonasal procedure helps correct and avoid many dental deformities.  

Corrects Mouth-Breathing 

Mouth breathing is a condition that arises due to breathing obstruction. Patients suffer from air hunger during sleep (due to insufficient patency of the nasal airway passage) and unconsciously breathe through their mouths. The continuously open mouths while sleeping bring about destructive changes in the orodental region. Studies show that mouth breathing is directly linked to the development of malocclusions. 

Current strategies for addressing mouth-breathing include myofunctional therapy and jaw modification. The main aim of all is to achieve an “adequate nose.” Endonasal therapies like Cranial Facial Release open up the nasal turbinates and increase the patency of the nasal passage.  

The timely introduction of CFR can help prevent the development of dental malocclusions.  

Alleviates Sinusitis Symptoms 

Chronic sinusitis has far-reaching effects, especially on nearby structures. People suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis are frequently faced with toothache. This type of dental pain can only be treated by draining the sinuses and lowering the rhinitis. CFR effectively improves both conditions and, therefore, helps you get rid of toothache.  

Halts Wearing of the Teeth  

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction is a disorder directly linked to increased attrition and wearing of the teeth. Pathological tooth wear further causes issues such as hypersensitivity to hot and cold, pain, and increased risk of caries. Addressing the TMJ dysfunction early on using the CFR technique can help prevent future dental complications. 

CFR restores the balance and rhythm of the cranial bones. This resetting improves TMJ dysfunction and associated infirmities.

Cranial Facial Release for Sleep Disturbances

Cranial Facial Release for Sleep Disturbances

Optimal sleep is ultimately necessary for rest and good work performance. Chronic insomnia (sleeplessness) is reported to have a global prevalence of 33% in the adult population, making it a significant medical burden. Sleep deprivation makes things worse by laying the foundation for other chronic and serious disorders.

A new cure aiming to crush sleep deficits is the Cranial Facial Release technique (CFR). The endonasal therapy works in multiple ways to help improve your sleep quality and quantity. This article explains how Cranial Facial Release ameliorates sleep in patients.

How Does Cranial Facial Release Improve Sleep?

Improves CSF Flow

Neuropathologists have highlighted the role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the maintenance of normal brain function and how its stagnation can lead to multiple issues. CSF circulation is a must for the removal of waste products from the brain and the dissemination of growth factors.

Research shows that CSF flow in the brain increases during sleep. Thanks to the researchers at Boston University in Massachusetts, we now know that CSF appears to synchronize with the brain waves and helps remove potentially toxic waste proteins from the brain.

Cranial Facial Release restores the normal movement of the cranial bones, thus allowing better flow of the CSF. This enhanced flow ensures better sleep maintenance and flushing of toxic wastes.

Regulates The Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis (HPA Axis)

The hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, also known as the HPA axis, is a crucial brain nexus that regulates the production of hormones. It is also responsible for sleep onset, and a direct link between HPA axis dysregulation and sleep disorders has been seen.

Cranial facial release technique has a direct impact on the pituitary gland (and HPA axis). Thus, CRF plays a part in restoring the regulation of the HPA axis.

Reduces Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a highly prevalent chronic disorder that leads to sleep deficiency and daytime sleepiness. Patients suffer from sleep hunger at night and gasp for air during sleep. This develops due to the collapse of the airway passages (mainly nasal structures).

Cranial Facial Release introduces air pressure into the nose and increases the patency of the airway passage (by pushing and resetting the nasal bones). Deviated nasal septum and nasal structure issues contribute to sleep apnea. It is similar to inserting a nasopharyngeal tube, which abates snoring and tweaks sleep quality.

With CRF, you can enjoy sleep free of interruption and snoring!
