10. Pucker Side to Side

This technique helps to train your lip seal so that you habitually keep your lips closed. The only time your lips should be apart is if you are talking, eating, drinking or exercising to the point where you need to breathe through your mouth to get enough air. 

Otherwise, your lips should stay closed while you breathe through your nose. If you have trouble maintaining a lip seal you may have a lip tie.

Pucker Left

Instructions:

  1. Pucker your lips as if you were making a “fish face.” Your teeth should be slightly apart. 
  2. Then move to one side into as wide of a smile as you can, keeping your lips together. This moves your puckered lips off to one side.
  3. Hold 45 seconds.
  4. Then switch to the other side and hold for 45 seconds.
  5. If you notice that one side is weaker (use a mirror for feedback) than the other, start and finish on that side
  6. Complete 3-5x each side.

Perform 2-3 x day. *Unless otherwise directed

  • Optionally, use your testing technique to determine your optimal frequency and duration to perform.
