Maintaining a harmonious facial appearance is essential for building trust and fostering social connections. Issues like drooling or the inability to close one’s lips can pose challenges.

Conditions such as lip drooping, facial paralysis, scars, and difficulty in expressing oneself can affect daily life and eating habits. To address these concerns, a close partnership between you and your therapist is crucial.

Desiring positive change and consistent practice of therapist-recommended exercises with the CODONIS LWZ are key to achieving favorable outcomes. Patience is vital, as therapy takes time. Your therapist will provide support and guide you through the therapy journey.
