It warms our hearts when our clients complete their myofunctional therapy programs with great success!

This young woman came to see us after experiencing a return of an open bite and shifting of teeth following orthodontic and jaw surgery treatment. Unfortunately this relapse occurred due to incorrect oral posture, mouth breathing and poor swallowing habits that were not corrected prior to her previous orthodontic treatment.

She was planning to begin another round of braces and was motivated to prevent future relapse.

After correcting her mouth breathing habit, achieving proper oral rest posture and correcting her tongue thrust, she had noticeable physical changes, along with many other benefits too!!

She's ready to start her next round of braces, feeling confident that there's a lower risk of relapse this time.

Have you experienced orthodontic relapse? Reach out to us today to see how we can help!

Enjoyed a lovely business lunch today with the amazing pediatric Occupational Therapist, Jennifer Lake of ❤️

Great discussions were had about the collaboration of care between myofunctional therapy and occupational therapy to best help our pediatric clients grow up to be healthy, regulated, thriving individuals.

It's a beautiful thing when professionals collaborate in the interest of client health. We'll look forward to more conversation to come!

When you can breathe well, you can sleep well. When you can sleep well, you can thrive!

Congrats to this hard-working young man who completed his Myo program and had great results!

This is a wonderful example of how improving tongue posture can help improve overall body posture.

With improved breathing, better oral resting posture and correction of tongue thrust, he's ready for his orthodontic treatment with less risk of relapse afterwards!

We had to share this great post with important info from

Enlarged tonsils and adenoids are becoming more and more common in children. I see it quite often in my practice.
 
Why is that? Well, enlarged tonsils and adenoids occur as a result of systemic inflammation. This can stem from a lot of different areas, but two of the major contributors are mouth breathing and gut health.
 
Enlarged tonsils and adenoids in growing children lead to a cascade of effects. Some of these being:

💨Reduced airflow and lower oxygen levels
👄Chronic mouth breathing, further perpetuating systemic inflammation
👅Improper tongue posture and decreased facial muscle tone

So why is it important to address? These effects can lead to more serious issues, such as 👉🏽 Impacted jaw growth and development, tooth decay and cavities, behavioral changes, sleep issues and more.
 
While I'm not pro-surgery, sometimes removing tonsils and adenoids is necessary - especially when it is affecting the airway, breathing and sleep.
 
Surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids may not always be a permanent solution as the tissues can regrow, but visiting a myofunctional therapist can help prevent regrowth and promote proper oral posture, swallowing, and nasal breathing. This is often the missing key for successful removal and healing.
 
Do you or your child have enlarged tonsils/adenoids? How has it affected yours/your child's life? 👇🏽
