“…Jaw-opening 30 and lingual exercises 31,32 have been introduced to treat dysphagia and are expected to strengthen the suprasternal muscle group. There is also a relationship between OSA and craniofacial structure, including mouth breathing resulting from di culty in closing the lips, narrow dentition, and a large tongue or a long upper airway 33 .It has been reported that physical exercise targeting the myofascial region as an adjuvant therapy for OSA over a xed period of time can be helpful for the improvement of snoring, daytime sleepiness, quality of sleep, and reduction of neck circumference 34 . The modality of muscle activity with continuous physical exercise in the submental region might be changed, and the upper airway mighe be kept open during sleep.…”
