LIP-SEAL TRAINING
To assure that treatment works best, it is important to do muscle training during all phases of your treatment. This is particularly true while wearing the Frankel device.
To assure the Frankel acts as a muscle training device, it is vitally important that the lips be trained to function in a sealed position and that the patient breathe consistently through the nose. This is very important! If you cannot breathe through your nose, please let us know.
Lip-seal training consists of:
I) Non-Frankel patients
A) lip seal exercises with tongue blades, 60 minutes a day
II) Frankel patients
A) lip seal exercises with tongue blades, 60 minutes a day
B) teeth together, lips together, during Frankel wear
C) talking with the teeth together
D) reading aloud 30 minutes a day with the Frankel in place
The DOUBLE WIN TOKEN PROGRAM for Frankel patients:
Frankel patients have the opportunity to rapidly increase their token collection if they follow instruction completely beginning with their first regularly scheduled appointment after fulltime wear begins.
1) Fulltime wear (22 hours a day) 10 tokens
2) Lip-seal exercises daily (1 hour) 10 tokens
3) "A" in toothbrushing 10 tokens
