His dentist had used a tongue reminder habit appliance which did not work because it’s purpose is to keep the tongue away from the teeth but doesn’t close the lips or teach the tongue where it should rest or address any nasal airway concerns. He exhibited chapped lips and when asked to close his lips, he exhibited lip tension.
