One of my top nasal dilators when I’m working through the Breathing Optimization Program!

Nasal dilators are helpful if your nose collapses in when you take a greater inhale through your nose!

Will explain more in the next story ☺️

Myofunctional therapy, early interventions, expansion, growth guidance devices are all great however… if you don’t encourage lots of “chewing” you will not be able to stabilize the position long term… period.

It’s like working out, how are you suppose to support your entire structure without daily movement & heavy lifting (whether it’s at the gym or in nature).

We need to constantly be pushing ourselves throughout our lifetime to support muscle mass, our fascial system and bone density to prevent injuries & support our overall health long term.

Chewing is foundational & a pillar in my work as a myofunctional therapist.

Especially when working with growing faces and developed faces to improve tone, musculature & function.

If you struggle with TMD/chronic pain, please be cautious and only work with a qualified dental professional &/or myofunctional therapist who understands your needs.

I wish I could show the before & after of where this child started & how far they have come!

The day we did the first check up, the thumb sucking habit had created a very deep overbite & overjet, making it hard to keep their lips closed. 👄

We started small with nasal hygiene nose 👃 🪥 and a myomunchee however with the thumb habit was still going strong, so progress was slow.

About 1.5 years ago, the thumb habit stopped and now the child is 7 years old.

Never wore any appliances or growth guidance systems. The only device we used was a myomunchee, along with chewy, healthy foods to support a growing body.

The daily instructions were nasal hygiene for a clear nose day & night, lips closed when eating and at rest, & additional chewing with a myomunchee.

Both parents and child have done exceptionally well & I look forward to starting a myofunctional program to continue with the great progress made so far.

This family’s goals are to see if we can prevent any orthodontic intervention.

They all have concerns with…
-breathing through their nose (congestion)
-sleep quality could be better
-snoring or restless sleep at times
-some signs for potential hyperactivity which can be related to poor sleep quality (not getting into restful sleep)
-tight baby teeth with potentially a lot of crowding in the future

Andddddd

Mama’s who were told by their dental and/or healthcare providers that everything was “normal” .

These mamas stuck to their gut instincts and knew there was more to the story and sought me out to assess their child to get the whole picture.

Now we are working on next steps which involves a team approach to support their child’s breathing & growth, which as a side effect (will improve spacing in between their teeth! 🤗)
