✨ The Domino Effect of Mouth Breathing ✨
Most parents don’t realize how early signs in the mouth can impact the whole body. When a child mouth breathes, it can lead to a chain reaction affecting sleep, behavior, growth, and overall health.

That’s where myofunctional therapy comes in.
It supports proper tongue posture, nasal breathing, jaw development, and better sleep quality. And the earlier we catch it, the better the outcomes.

Common signs to watch for:
• Restlessness at night
• Poor sleep quality
• Tongue tie
• Night terrors
• Hyperactivity
• Crooked teeth
• Bedwetting
• Mouth breathing / open-mouth posture

If you notice any of these symptoms, let’s talk.
We’re here to walk you through what myo is, why it matters, and how it can support your child’s long-term health. 💙

Collaborative care can be so helpful because sometimes it really does take a tribe, and we’re here for it.

Sometimes prolonged articulation difficulties are a symptom of something deeper. It could be airway issues, a tongue restriction, difficulty dissociating movements, and/or decreased intra-oral suction ability. If your child is in speech therapy for too long with little or no progress, then they may need some work with a myofunctional therapist.

Your baby’s mouth does more than smile! 🍼💬

Those early months are full of tiny milestones that shape the way your child eats, breathes, and speaks for life.

👶 0–2 Years:
* Suck → builds jaw strength
* Chew → develops coordination
* Teethe → strengthens gums & jaw
* Swallow → transitions to mature movement
* Cup Drink → boosts oral control
* Chew, Swallow, Breathe → syncs everything for speech, sleep & growth

Every stage matters—each one builds the foundation for healthy oral development, airway strength, and confident communication.

✨ Start early. Watch closely. Celebrate progress!

Did you know myofunctional therapy can help with acid reflux? 💤

Here’s how:
✨ Nasal breathing – Breathing through your nose naturally filters the air, reducing inflammation and mucus buildup.
✨ Closed lip posture – Keeping your lips closed helps prevent the “vacuum effect” in the esophagus that can pull acid upward.
✨ Proper tongue posture – When your tongue rests gently on the palate, it supports better airway space and reduces snoring—especially during sleep.

Sometimes the fix for reflux starts higher up than you think!

Mouth breathing. Dark circles. Restless sleep. It might not just be “a bad night’s rest.”

👀 The roof of the mouth is also the floor of the nose — meaning when the palate grows high and narrow, it can literally take away nasal space.

Less space = less airflow.
Less airflow = restless nights.

At Sleep + Health, we look beyond teeth — we look at the airway. Because a healthy, wide palate helps kids (and adults) breathe easier, sleep deeper, and live better.

✨ Breathe better. Sleep better. Live better.👉 Read more on the blog.

If you’ve ever peeked in on your child at night and noticed their mouth hanging open, light snoring, or tossing and turning all night long — you might think they’re just a restless sleeper. But here’s something most parents don’t realize: the shape of the mouth can actually affect how your...

Let’s set the record straight! 🧠👅
🚫 You can’t grow out of a true tongue tie.
When your body can’t move the tongue properly, it finds ways to compensate — using extra muscles to help out. The problem? Those compensations always come with consequences — big or small.
🚫 A release alone won’t fix the issue.
That’s why MyoFunctional Therapy is essential before and after a tongue tie release! It helps retrain those muscles, restore function, and eliminate the compensations your body has built over time.
With good compliance, you’ll see better results, better function, and long-term relief.
💪 MyoFunctional Therapy is the key to lasting success — not just a quick fix.

👃✨ Breathe through your nose. Change your life.
Your nose isn’t just for smelling—it’s your body’s built-in air filter and sleep support system.

When you breathe through your nose instead of your mouth, everything changes:

💤 Better Sleep: Filters and humidifies the air for calmer breathing and deeper rest.
💪 Healthier Body: Boosts oxygen, supports heart health, and strengthens your immune system.
🧠 Sharper Mind: Increases focus, energy, and mental clarity.
😴 Open Airways: Reduces snoring, dry mouth, and morning fatigue.

Small change. Big difference.
Start by closing your mouth and letting your nose do what it was designed to do.

ALSO…we may have a product that will help with this as well! Call us. 😬😉

Sorry Mommas, but snoring is never cute…It’s a red flag 🚩

Breathing should be quiet, even light snoring can be a sign that something is impacting your child’s ability to breathe during sleep. And believe it or not, breathing impacts everything from facial development, to behavior, to brain development, to systemic health!

Here’s to the Mommas that are done with the “wait and see” method! To the ones who are ready to listen, learn, and lead our kiddos into sleeping better, breathing easier, and feeling their best! You’re showing up - let’s do this together 🤍
