The Story Behind Simply Breathe

  • 3 min read

A Small Business with a Father and Daughter Beginning

Simply Breathe did not begin as a trend or a business idea. It started in a dental practice in Colorado, with a prosthodontist who believed that small, sustainable habits could change how people feel.

For decades, my dad, Dr. Frank Seaman, worked with patients who lived with TMJ pain, clenching, grinding, airway challenges, and the exhaustion that comes from poor sleep. Long before mouth taping entered the wellness world, he was teaching people how nasal breathing could protect their joints, support their oral health, and improve their rest.

He saw the same patterns again and again: dry mouth, jaw tension, morning headaches, restless sleep, tooth fractures, and fatigue that no amount of coffee could fix. These issues often led to long-term oral health concerns that people did not realize were connected to breathing.

And he understood something many people did not. The root cause was not stress or aging. It was mouth breathing.

 

A Simple Solution That Started in the Dental Chair

My dad created the earliest version of Simply Breathe, a gentle mouth tape for sleep that supported nasal breathing at night. His goal was simple. He wanted to help his patients stop mouth breathing so they could finally get the rest and relief they needed.

It was not meant to be a product. It was not designed for retail shelves. It was a tool built out of care, clinical experience, and a deep understanding of how the mouth, airway, and sleep work together.

The results were remarkable. Patients experienced better sleep and felt a meaningful improvement in their overall sleep quality. Their TMJ symptoms eased. Their energy returned. They had fewer cavities and dental issues over time.

A simple strip of breathable tape created ripple effects far beyond the dental chair by supporting nasal breathing at night in a natural and gentle way.

Passing the Work Forward

When he eventually passed this work on to me, I felt honored to continue something he had poured decades of care and curiosity into. He had spent decades refining the idea, studying research, and helping real people find relief.

I wanted to carry his mission forward in a way that felt true to him, but also accessible to people navigating sleep, stress, and health today.
