Where your tongue rests, how you swallow, and whether you breathe through your nose can shape your teeth and jaw for years before anyone connects the two. Ten questions, under a minute.
A conversation starter, not a diagnosis. The number at the end only tells you how much there is to talk about. Nothing you check is sent anywhere.
- 0 to 2Probably not the main thing
- 3 to 4Worth raising at your visit
- 5 or moreWorth a specific conversation
Nothing checked yet. The total keeps itself up to date as you go.
Still worth mentioning anything that genuinely bothers you.
Enough here that someone should look properly rather than guess.
Print this or bring the number in, and ask for Dr. Lee-Mirzayan.
What to do with this
Bring it in, or call and say you went through it. Where they land matters more than how many there are. Dr. Lee-Mirzayan, a dentist and certified myofunctional therapist, can tell you whether it is a muscle habit, something structural, or something that needs a referral instead.

Question areas adapted from the Nordic Orofacial Test-Screening (Bakke M, et al. Swed Dent J. 2007;31(2):75-84). Not that instrument, not itself validated, and not a substitute for an exam or a sleep study.
