Hi, list.
I've bee having many problems with alergic renitis, jaw tension ( for speaking ans singing ) and back problems. In fact, I think I've had them all my life and just started noticing them when I started singing.
I've gone through speech therapy and two surgeries in the nose for sept deviation and they haven't solved my major concern ( and what my previous singing teacher always refered to ): having a problem breathing through the nose and vocal problems.
I've been wearing a mouth guard to sleep and that has helped a lot with the tension, but I still have articulatory problems opening the mouth ( it doesn't open evenly, and when I open it a little wider it 'compensates' to the right ).
I've gone to some dentists but now I've found out one who is really different. He says he studied in Germany and his technique is based on the idea that most people with the problems I refered to above breathe through their mouths. And that's what I said I do! That is generally due to short or sparse breastfeeding, since our suction, chewing and swallowing mechanisms are developed in that period of our lives ( before that the baby feeds on amniotic liquid in the mother ) and is forced, due to a 'busy mouth', to breathe in and out through the nose. Another match: I was breastfed for some days only!
