"My daughter just graduated from eliminating a life long habit of finger sucking. At 13, she hardly remembers what fingers she sucked - absolutely amazing! Dr. Franklin has a great approach to helping those who have finger/thumb sucking habits. I high recommend her to anyone who has exhausted efforts on breaking this terrible habit. She has truly been a blessing to our family, and more importantly Ashlyn, now feels more confident than ever in herself! Thank you Dr. Franklin!!!!!!"

Look at the improvement in this young boy's facial shape after 13 visits over 15 months with orofacial myofunctional therapy with Dr. Honor Franklin at Honor Franklin Myofunctional & Speech Clinic with emphasis on lip competence and nasal breathing (via the help of an ENT and Allergist on her team) using the revolutionary mini-myofunctional therapy program she created after specializing in OMDs for over 40 years! Two exercises ONCE a day. NO swallowing therapy. NO tongue therapy. NO tongue tie. NO busy work. It Works! .

Former Patient and Speech Language Pathologist shares her experience at Honor Franklin Myofunctional & Speech Clinic:

"As a speech pathology professional and a patient of Dr. Franklin’s, I recommend her on from my personal and professional opinion. Located off of Alpha, it is a drive for my sessions from Frisco, but worth my (now) weekly drive. Dr. Franklin and the entire office staff is top-notch. Dr. Franklin is one of a kind in her skill set, bedside manner and genuine care for you, or your family member. If you are considering Dr. Franklin, don’t hesitate. She is worth it! Just as with any therapy, Dr. Franklin doesn’t have a magic wand; however, with your consistent practice and continuation of exercises at home (and ALL the reps or required sets), you will see a difference. I had a 40-year problem and extensive orthodontic history and surgery, and she has made a huge difference and I will always be grateful for her experience and therapy. Good luck to you considering this office; you made the right decision."

Fingernail biting is a parafunctional habit that needs to be eliminated not only because it causes an unnecessary forward placement of the tongue against the teeth from an orofacial myofunctional therapy standpoint but "the front teeth are not meant to be in a constant chewing mode", according to Dr. Paula Jones of the AGD. Other potential dangers include damage to the gums from sharp points and edges of nails and the spread of infection. Bacteria in the mouth can spread to the fingers and hands while bacteria or fungi from the rest of the body can spread to the mouth. In this time of Covid-19, it even more important to eliminate this harmful habit. Certified Orofacial Myofunctional Therapists trained by the International Association of Orofacial Myology like Dr. Honor Franklin of Honor Franklin Myofunctional & Speech Clinic are able to help eliminate this harmful habit.

Adults can benefit from orofacial myofunctional therapy, too. Look at the facial changes that have occurred so far especially in her chin and lips with the Zickefoose Lip Exerciser in 3 visits over 4 months. Thanks to a compliant patient, an ability to breathe nasally via the help of an Allergist and ENT who understand orofacial myofunctional disorders and orofacial myofunctional therapy using the Zickefoose Lip exerciser, results like this are common. Cant wait to see the final results! Thanks, Dr. McBride Orthodontics for referring this wonderful patient! For more information, check out website at honorfranklin.com.

"We had a great experience with Dr. Franklin. She is AMAZING with children and their parents. She is extremely caring, interested, and excellent at her job. She made the sessions fun and interesting, and made my child feel special. My 7 year old loved his time with Dr. Franklin and sped through his therapy. All of the staff members were kind and helpful, including helping my son with his homework while he was waiting for me to arrive to take him home (Thank you Amanda!)."

CPR saves lives and so can we thanks to Shaun Gomez for teaching our CPR recertification class today ♥️

This is Part 3 of my 46 year old female patient referred by the orthodontist, Dr. Evan Wilson of Wilson Orthodontics. Notice the gradual improvement in her lips and chin. Initially, she presented with an open mouth posture and low resting posture of her tongue due to nasal airway issues. A referral to an ENT revealed no nasal obstruction but a referral to an Allergist revealed she had strong Perennial Allergic Rhinitis and Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis allergies and allergy medication was prescribed to control her allergies. Once she was able to control her allergies by following the allergists's recommendations precisely, she was enrolled in Dr. Honor Franklin's Traditional Formal orofacial myofunctional therapy program with our goal being to teach a normal oral rest posture of the tongue and lips and normal swallowing pattern in order to assist the orthodontist in achieving a stabilized occlusion. Kudos to a terrific patient!

HOORAY!!! Another patient's mother shared her daugher's myofunctional journey with us on Google: "There is no question about it, Dr. Honor Franklin is top notch! From the moment we first stepped foot into her office 1.5 years ago, to every single visit even now, we are greeted with a warm smile and a caring heart. Dr. Franklin is one of a kind, and her treatment process has done absolute wonders for my now 15 year old daughter. Our pediatric dentist originally referred us to Dr. Franklin, and we are so grateful that she did. It has been a life changing experience. Dr. Franklin was instrumental in first identifying and then correcting so many issues for my daughter including a tongue thrust, open mouth posture, allergies, giant tonsils, etc. Through her personal investment in my daughter and all of her referrals, efforts and treatment, she has helped restore my daughter's confidence and given her a beautiful, healthy smile!

Not only is Dr. Franklin incredible, but her assistant, Amanda, is as well. She is always on top of things, responsive, accommodating and personally interested in every single patient who walks through the door. My daughter's ongoing treatment continues to be a delight with thoughtful, expert care, and the results speak for themselves. We are truly AMAZED!"
