Is your child a Mouth-breather ?

Loyola from Caring 4 Smiles Dental Group

Development of the Face is just not a simple growth & development process, but is a synchrony between nasal breathing and the 4 main groups of facial muscles. The tongue, lips, cheeks and neck muscles play a significant role in the development of a wonderful Smile and face. All of the development is early in childhood.
-
Children may develop a Mouth-breathing habit early and this causes the lips and teeth to be forced into improper & deformed positions. There are easy ways to correct this, if a child is managed early, and we have treated children as young as 4 years of age, with simple fun-type appliances, bringing about dramatic facial corrections, avoiding extensive braces or surgery down the track.
-
Mouth breathing affects facial development, sleep patterns, and general mental development. Such a massive issue is often missed in early childhood and the parents suddenly realize that their child's teeth are sticking out or the face is not as pretty as it should be.
-
If you see a child sleeping with their mouth open, drooling when sleeping, having a wet pillow or waking tired even after 8 hours of sleep, you may be dealing with a Mouth breather.

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats

Connie from Remuera

Hello everyone,

I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.

Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).

Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.

Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.

For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.

Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
