What the Oral Habits room is trying to show.
Oral habits are not all the same. Some are pressure loops. Some are edge loops. Some are jaw loops. Some are sound-and-rhythm loops. The room gives visitors a way to recognize the pattern first, then go deeper without turning the image into a menu.
Tongue Chewing
A hidden oral loop that often begins before awareness arrives.
Open exhibit placeholderTeeth Grinding & Jaw Clenching
Pressure, tension, and rhythm held in the jaw.
Open exhibit placeholderLip or Cheek Biting
Small bites, big signals inside the mouth.
Open exhibit placeholderNail Biting
A hand-to-mouth loop where the edge becomes the target.
Open exhibit placeholderHumming or Singing
Sound, rhythm, and regulation through the voice.

A simple explanation of why the mouth is such a powerful place for loops to run.
Read the room noteThe Mouth as a Loop System
The mouth is a high-sensory part of the body. The tongue, lips, teeth, and jaw send strong signals to the brain. That is why a tiny sharp edge, a pressure point, or a familiar rhythm can feel much larger than it looks from the outside.
Some oral loops respond to sensory changes. Some respond to dental changes. Some respond to stress, sleep, focus, posture, routine, or chemistry. This room is the first sorting place — not a final answer.
