Myofunctional Therapy
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy consists of therapeutic exercises to strengthen and reeducate facial and tongue muscles optimizing their function.
Tongue Posture
The tongue is supposed to rest on the palate (suctioned up there) ⬆️ This helps protects the airway - preventing snoring (when the tongue falls back). 😴 It also helps the teeth not move again in the future - tongue rest posture is crucial to a successful orthodontic treatment.
Tongue-Tie
Tongue-tie, medically known as ankyloglossia, is a congenital condition where the tissue connecting the tongue's underside to the floor of the mouth is unusually tight or short. This restricted lingual frenulum can limit the tongue's movement, potentially affecting essential functions like breastfeeding, speech articulation, and oral hygiene.
Nose Breathing
Learn the ben``efits of nasal breathing!
The way we breathe can impact the way our face grows!! This should be common knowledge to everyone!
Breathe IN and OUT of your nose - silently and slowly. Don't move your shoulders up and down. Place your hands on your belly and feel your diaphragm expand as you inhale.
