Profile: Steven K. Sue, D.D.S., M.S., Inc. specializes in designing nose breathe appliances and Non-extraction orthodontics. We specialize in non-extraction orthodontics, using functional orthopedic appliances to develop the jaws. The nose breathe mouth piece stabilizes completed orthodontic cases by controlling the tongue thrust. It also teaches children proper swallowing patterns, trains athletes for endurance and prevents them from over training. The nose breathe fits over upper teeth. It has a shelf for the tongue. The tongue is placed above the shelf and is in contact with the roof of the mouth. The front of the tongue is at the soft tissue bump (incisal papilla) located directly behind the two upper front teeth. The nose breathe tongue positioner (NB/TP) is for children, ages 3 - 8. The tongue positioner is a training mouthpiece to train one for nasal breathing. The nose breathe tongue positioner (NB/TP) can be retooled and made into a nose breathe pacifier (NB/P) for infants & toddlers who need them. The multi-purpose tongue positioner can be used by adults (including the elderly) beside the young to train for nasal breathing.
