Why The Bentist Uses Intake’s Magnetic Nasal Strip
If you follow The Bentist on social media, you know he’s passionate about more than just straightening teeth. One of his big messages lately is the importance of breathing through your nose instead of your mouth. In fact, The Bentist has a secret weapon for healthier breathing: the Intake Magnetic Nasal Strip.
Why is an orthodontist so excited about a nasal strip? Because nasal breathing isn’t just about comfort – it can boost your oral health, support proper jaw development, and even improve your sleep.
Oral Health Benefits of Nasal Breathing
Mouth breathing might seem harmless, but it can wreak havoc on your oral health. Breathing through your mouth dries out saliva. With less saliva to wash away bacteria, the result is often bad breath, a higher risk of cavities, and even gum disease (source).
The Bentist often sees chronic mouth-breathers with these issues — from dry mouth and tooth decay to inflamed gums (known as “mouth-breathing gingivitis”) (source). By switching to nasal breathing, you keep your mouth moist and healthy. It’s a simple change that can mean fewer trips to the dentist (fewer cavities!) and much fresher breath.
Actionable Tip:
If you wake up with a dry mouth or bad breath, try using a nasal strip at night to encourage nose breathing. You’ll likely notice a less “cottony” mouth in the morning and much fresher breath!
Nasal Breathing and Jaw Development
Chronic mouth breathing — especially in kids — can even affect how the face and jaw grow. It often leads to a narrower face, a receding chin, and misaligned teeth over time.
That’s why The Bentist encourages nasal breathing early, to help children develop properly aligned jaws (and avoid the classic “mouth-breathing” facial structure).
Nasal Breathing and Sleeping
Breathing through your nose isn’t just good for your teeth and gums — it can also transform your sleep. If you or your partner snore at night, mouth breathing or a stuffy nose might be to blame.
Snoring happens when airflow is blocked, causing vibration in the throat. Keeping your nasal passages open can reduce that resistance and cut down on snoring (source). In fact, studies show nasal strips often help people snore less and sleep better.
The result: Deeper, more refreshing sleep and far less snoring — a win-win for everyone.
Actionable Tip:
For a snore-free night, clear your nose before bed (try a hot shower or saline spray) and use a nasal strip to keep your nostrils open.
What Makes Intake’s Magnetic Nasal Strip Different?
So why does The Bentist choose Intake over ordinary nasal strips? Simply put, Intake solves the common problems with regular strips.
- Opens Your Nose Wider: Intake’s magnetic design expands your nostrils up to 2x more than standard strips.
- Gentle on Skin: Regular nasal strips use sticky adhesives that often cause irritation. Intake uses only small side tabs, meaning no red marks or peeling skin.
- Won’t Fall Off: Intake’s two-part system is designed to stay put overnight — even during workouts or sleep.
- Reusable & Adjustable: The magnetic band is reusable, size-adjustable, and water-resistant — it’s built for consistent performance.
How to Use the Intake Magnetic Nasal Strip (3 Easy Steps)
Using Intake is simple:
- Clean your nose and let the skin dry.
- Apply the adhesive tabs just above your nostrils.
- Snap on the magnetic band — it’ll click into place and start working immediately.
