A Mouth Guard for Tongue Posture

The Functional Activator is a tongue posture trainer. It guides your tongue up to rest against the roof of your mouth, and its closed shape encourages you to breathe through your nose instead of your mouth. Daily training, no exercises to learn.

Choose the size that fits your mouth.

One measurement decides it. Take the reading, find the row it falls in, and that row is your size. If the reading sits on a boundary, the full guide shows how to resolve it.

Sizes and the measurement each one suits
Small 33 millimetres or less Younger users or smaller mouth size.
Medium 34 to 37 millimetres Most adults. Fits the majority.
Large 38 millimetres or more Larger mouth size or broader jaw.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sleep with the Functional Activator?

Yes, and sleeping in it is the goal. Your tongue spends the whole night in whatever position it falls into, so the hours you're asleep are where the Functional Activator does most of its work. Wear it for short periods during the day until it feels familiar, then move it to bedtime and keep it in through the night.

How does a tongue posture corrector work?

A tongue posture corrector holds your tongue resting on the roof of your mouth, a position that otherwise takes constant attention to keep. The Functional Activator’s double-arch shape guides your tongue there, and because it is sealed with no breathing holes, your breathing moves through your nose while you wear it. Since the device holds the position for you, the correction continues through the night, when holding it on purpose isn’t possible.

What do customers say about the Posturepro Functional Activator?

Customers from across Europe describe wearing it to sleep, breathing comfortably through their nose, and no longer needing tape to keep their mouth closed at night. Some mention tenderness during the first few wears that settled as they got used to it. You can read their full reviews below.

Where should your tongue rest when you sleep?

Your tongue rests gently against the roof of your mouth, with your lips closed and your breathing going through your nose. Holding that position is possible while you're awake and paying attention, but as everything relaxes during sleep, the tongue can drop and the lips can part. The Functional Activator is shaped to guide the tongue up and keep the mouth sealed through the night.

Is this more efficient than mewing?

Mewing means keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth, which takes constant attention during the day and isn't possible to do on purpose while you sleep. The Functional Activator's double-arch shape guides your tongue into that position, and because it is sealed with no breathing holes, your breathing moves through your nose while you wear it. Since the device holds the position for you, the training continues during the hours you can't think about it.

Can I sleep with the Functional Activator?

Yes, and sleeping in it is the goal. Your tongue spends the whole night in whatever position it falls into, so the hours you're asleep are where the Functional Activator does most of its work. Wear it for short periods during the day until it feels familiar, then move it to bedtime and keep it in through the night.

How is a tongue posture device different from a regular mouth guard?

?

A regular mouth guard is built to protect your teeth, while a tongue posture device is shaped to place your tongue. The Functional Activator is made from flexible, BPA-free silicone with a double-arch design that guides the tongue up to the roof of the mouth, and its closed shape keeps your breathing through your nose. It adapts to the width of your mouth as soon as you release it, with no boiling or mo

functional activator

génial, depuis que je porte cette gouttière je ressens un mieux être physique. J'ai l'impression d'avoir une posture plus saine. Je la mets principalement pour dormir. Mon sommeil est plus sain aussi. Plus réparateur. Mes performances sportives sont également meilleures.

Nose breathing

To place this peace of help in the mouth is a joy for your breathing pattern. In rest or activities, training your breath and position of the tongue and jaw. Love the proces.

Amazing

This is exactly what I was looking for! No more mouth taping needed. Completely breathing threw my noise, and feeling restored when I wake up. My front did hurt for the first few times but was able to get used to it and now doesn't hurt at all.
