SIZE GUIDE

HORIZONTALLY, THE FROGGYMOUTH SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY
SMALLER THAN PATIENT'S MOUTH SIZE

THE ACTION OF FROGGYMOUTH IS TO INHIBIT THE FACIAL NERVE
AND THEREFORE PREVENT LABIO-MENTAL AND JUGAL CONTRACTIONS
DURING SWALLOWING.

INHIBITION OF THE FACIAL NERVE WILL PROMOTE THE ACTION OF ITS ANTAGONIC, THE TRIGEMINAL NERVE.
THE LATTER CONTROLS THE RESPIRATION CENTERS IN THE PONTIC TEGMENTUM
BY ITS SENSITIVE CENTER AND WILL THEREFORE PROMOTE A RESTORATION OF NASAL BREATHING.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHY A HORIZONTALLY FROGGYMOUTH
LARGER THAN THE INTER-COMMISSURAL GAP WILL NOT BE SUITABLE.

SO, IF IN DOUBT BETWEEN TWO SIZES,
WE WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND THE SMALLER ONE.

THIS WILL HELP PREVENT STRETCHING OF THE LIPS AT THE LEVEL
COMMISSURES AND THUS STIMULATE THE FACIAL NERVE.
