Important: This is an educational screening tool only and is not a medical diagnosis. It is designed to help you notice common signs that may relate to breathing and airway habits. A higher score or any “yes” on the first six questions suggests it may be helpful to consult a qualified healthcare provider (myofunctional therapist, ENT, or dentist). This is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
