Biological Dentistry RMR
Masticatory Respiratory Rehabilitation (RMR) is an innovative approach within biological dentistry that focuses on restoring and optimizing two vital functions for oral and general health: chewing and breathing. Key aspects of this treatment are detailed below:
What is RMR?
It is a treatment based on biological dentistry that evaluates and corrects problems related to chewing and breathing.
- It considers that both functions are intrinsically connected and that their proper functioning is essential for the individual's overall health.
- It seeks to re-educate primary neurovegetative functions, such as chewing, breathing, and swallowing, to improve general health.
Who is it for?
RMR can benefit people of all ages who present with:
- Mouth breathing.
- Inefficient chewing.
- Atypical swallowing.
- Dental malocclusions.
- Postural problems.
- Sleep disorders (snoring, apnea).
- Headaches and migraines.
- Phonetic problems.
- Anxiety and stress.
Benefits of RMR:
- Improves nasal breathing.
- Optimizes bilateral chewing.
- Promotes restorative sleep.
- Reduces pain.
- Corrects tongue position.
- Decreases snoring and apneas.
- Enhances saliva production.
How does it work?
RMR treatment generally involves:
- Comprehensive evaluation of chewing, breathing, and posture.
- Exercises and therapies to re-educate the muscles and functions involved.
- Use of intraoral devices, if necessary.
- Collaboration with other health professionals, such as physiotherapists and speech therapists.
Importance of biological dentistry:
RMR is part of biological dentistry, which prioritizes the patient's overall health and uses biocompatible materials and techniques. This approach considers the mouth as part of an interconnected system and seeks treatments that harmonize with the body.
