Thank you Dr. Franklin! We appreciate you more than words can say! ❤ #graduationday 🎉🎊

Another example of the awesome results of the Lip Competence Therapy Program created by Dr Honor Franklin at Honor Franklin Myofunctional & Speech Clinic. Look how this 9 year old boy’s dental occlusion improved in 9 visits over 11 months. No tongue therapy. No swallowing therapy. No speech therapy. No orthodontic work yet! It works!!
Note: Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy never takes the place of orthodontic treatment.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: This precious 8 year old girl was enrolled in the Digitsucking Elimination program created by Dr. Honor Franklin of Honor Franklin Myofunctional & Speech Clinic in 2002 and eliminated her thumb sucking habit in 9 visits over 8 months. Look at her improved dental occlusion. Her results were photographed using FILM because Dr. Franklin knew the importance of documenting her results which gives clinicians proof and credibility plus is the best motivator for patients. #Documentyourresults #proofnotverbalclaims #nomoresucking #suckinghabitsareharmful

The Zickefoose Lip Exerciser - ZLE, created by Bill Zickefoose, founder of the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM), is now offered in 2 sizes, a thicker one with blue string and a thinner one with pink string. Both cost the same but are used for different patients - age of patient, shortened upper lip, amount of lip tension, etc. The pink string ZLE is used mostly on children and the blue string ZLE is used for older patients but it really depends on the patients' lips because the pink ZLE is also used on adults. The Blue String ZLE is 1mm thicker than the Pink String ZLE. This is the ONLY lip stretching, lip strengthening , lip closure exerciser Dr Honor Franklin of Honor Franklin Myofunctional & Speech Clinic has used for years. Check out Facebook posts on her results as well as her website at honorfranklin.com.

Yes, I would recommend Honor. She helped my daughter when Kristin was a teen, even though Kristin didn’t practice as much as recommended. Thanks for working with us.

Thanks for the photo !

I've known Dr.Franklin for 50 yrs, she is one of the best doctors in her field. She works with each patient one on one and has a great compassion to strive for the utmost in perfection. I'll give Dr.Franklin a "10"!

I came across some before and after photo's and the results are amazing! I'm wondering what the force is that makes the chin come forward? Also you recommend braces in conjunction right? Some myofunctial therapists (and orthortropics) claim correct posture and habits by itself can straighten teeth and that braces will only work as a break on the wanted facial development. Curious to your professional views.Would appreciate it a lot.

You may have been advised to avoid chewing on hard nuts and ice cubes as it may chip your teeth. This same warning applies to nail biting. Up to 41% of people chew on their nails which could eventually cost more than $4,000 on dental bills. Nailbiting places a great deal of stress on the front teeth potentially causing the edges to chip or wean and the enamel to crack. It is also a detriment to orofacial myofunctional therapy because it causes an unnecessary forward thrusting or placement of the tongue against the teeth which can contribute to the teeth becoming crooked/misaligned not to mention the spreading of germs which is especially important in this unprecedented time of Covid-19. Orofacial Myofunctional Therapists trained by the International Association of Orofacial Myology like Dr. Honor Franklin of the Honor Franklin Myofunctional & Speech Clinic are trained to help eliminate this harmful habit. #nailbiting #harmful #spreadsgerms #unhealthy #badhabit #allergist #ENT #IAOM #notonguethrust

Many in orthodontics and orofacial myofunctional therapy owe Dr. Franklin a huge debt of gratitude for contributing so much to their own professional development and knowledge regarding OMDs. Dr. Franklin stands tall among other clinicians for her professionalism, knowledge, experience, and dedication to the field of orofacial myology.”

"Dr. Franklin is a consummate professional who invests whole-heartedly in helping each of her patients overcome whatever incorrect tongue or speech habits they have acquired. She possesses great skill and up-to-date knowledge, but beyond that - she is known for her contagious joy and enthusiasm. Dr. Franklin takes great delight in the uniqueness of each person. She challenges her patients, holds them accountable, and celebrates every inch of progress they make. I was humbled this spring by her attendance (along with her family) at a musical I was directing. She values and enjoys each of her patients as a person, and this is a huge motivating factor for her patients. Not only has the tongue thrust I've lived with since childhood been eradicated, I've gained a new friend!" #Lovemypatients #orofacialmyofunctionaltherapy #tonguethrust
