I changed my resting tooth/jaw position recently, too, and it's made a big difference. I used to feel more stressed out in the mornings, and I was sure it was because of jaw clenching I would do at night which is now largely gone.
And this is going to sound weird, but I've taken it even further by buying some baby chew toys off Amazon and chewing on them for maybe an hour a day. The benefits I've seen since starting about six months ago are 1) less teeth stress/pain at night and in the morning, 2) less nasal pressure/stress (pretty sure I have more breathing capacity through my nose now), and 3) I feel my face has widened ever so slightly but that may be the jaw positioning alone.

- amelius 6y agoDoctors have told me specifically to not eat chewy food, like chewing-gum, so what you say seems contradictory to me. Was there any reason to use toys instead of just chewing-gum?
