✨ Can you believe this transformation?! ✨

After just 9 Myo Moves sessions + a tongue-tie release, this little one has a completely different tongue posture and it’s changing everything!

Before: A restricted tongue, held down by a tight frenulum. Limited mobility, Poor posture and improper function.
After: A free, high-resting tongue with better lift, shape, and space.

This kind of progress supports:
✅ Better nasal breathing
✅ Improved sleep + focus
✅ Healthier swallowing patterns
✅ Full-body regulation + development

Because here’s the thing: the release is just the beginning!! Myofunctional therapy teaches the tongue how to move, rest, and function the way it was meant to, for lasting results.

💬 Wondering if your child might have a tongue-tie? Comment “TONGUE TIE” and we’ll send you info on what to look for + how we can help.

Tongue ties are not the only restriction we look at in our assessment of jaw development.

Underbites, underdeveloped upper jaws, and the contribution of upper lip and cheek ties.

Here’s one of two 8.5-year-old twins I’ve been treating who both presented with Class III relationships (underbites) and underdevelopment of the upper jaw.

Both children were treated with palatal expansion using Biobloc, which corrected the underbite and allowed the adult teeth to erupt into a more favourable relationship.

For as long as I’ve treated underbites, I’ve recognised the connection with low tongue posture. In my observation this is associated with tongue-tie and sometimes enlarged tonsils.

However, in recent times, as I’ve started paying closer attention to other oral ties, I’ve increasingly recognised the role that facial tension from upper lip ties and buccal (cheek) ties may play in restricting normal upper jaw development.

The top photos are from the initial consultation in November 2024.

The lower two photos of upper lip tie, and upper cheek ties, were taken last week, just before we performed five oral releases including upper lip, two upper cheek, lower lip, and tongue-tie releases.

When I reviewed the twins today, both reported that the most noticeable change overall was that their cheeks felt “loose.”

Their mum reported this twin's upper lip appeared less tight, and that her speech sounded clearer, with better engagement of the upper lip and tongue.

Class III malocclusions are traditionally considered one of the most unstable orthodontic problems to treat, and many families are told early on to save up for jaw surgery.

But when we start to recognise how soft tissue restrictions, lip tension, cheek attachments, and low tongue posture may influence facial development, it opens another avenue.

If these functional contributors are addressed early, it may be possible to redirect a more normal pattern of facial growth and reduce the need for more complex treatment later.

This pattern has become very clear and difficult to ignore once seen.

Disclaimers:

Any orthodontic procedure carries risk, and individual results may vary. Before proceeding with treatment, you should seek a second opinion with a specialist orthodontist.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

The most important thing to do after tonsil surgery is myofunctional therapy ! It’s not automatic for kids to switch from mouth breathing to nasal breathing. You have to retrain it.. for optimal, long-term success.

Pediatric sleep disorders can significantly impact a child’s Jaw growth, Crooked teeth & overall health and well-being. Here are some signs and symptoms to look for:

1. **Snoring**: Loud or frequent snoring can indicate obstructive sleep apnea or other breathing issues.

2. **Restlessness During Sleep**: Frequent tossing and turning, or difficulty staying in one position, may suggest discomfort or sleep disturbances.

3. **Mouth Breathing**: Breathing through the mouth instead of the nose during sleep can lead to dry mouth and may indicate nasal obstructions.

4. **Daytime Sleepiness**: If a child is excessively tired or irritable during the day, it could be a sign of poor sleep quality at night.

5. **Difficulty Falling Asleep**: Prolonged time to fall asleep or frequent awakenings during the night can signal underlying issues.

6. **Night Sweats**: Excessive sweating during sleep may indicate sleep disturbances or other health concerns.

7. **Bedwetting**: Frequent bedwetting beyond the expected age can be linked to sleep disorders.

8. **Chronic Fatigue or Irritability**: Mood swings and lack of focus during the day can stem from insufficient or disrupted sleep.

If you observe these signs, it’s advisable to book a consult for further evaluation & treatment options.
