Enlarged tonsils may look like they’re “doing their job” — but research shows they often don’t provide the immune protection we expect.

Instead, enlarged tonsils can:

🦋 Obstruct the airway
🦋 Contribute to snoring and mouth breathing
🦋 Be linked to sleep apnea
🦋 Lead to recurring infections and inflammation

When the airway is compromised, overall health, sleep quality, and daily function are affected. Myofunctional therapy works alongside medical care to address these patterns and support better breathing, sleep, and wellness.

👉 Follow Chrysalis Orofacial for more education on airway health and how myofunctional therapy can help.

Our September TOTS Training® is almost here — and this isn’t just another course to add to your list. It’s about equipping you with the skills and confidence to:

✨ Recognize tethered oral tissues earlier
✨ Collaborate effectively with other providers
✨ Create better outcomes for patients and families

The impact goes far beyond the classroom. With the right tools, you can help babies feed better, children breathe easier, and families find answers they’ve been searching for. That’s the “why” behind TOTS — and why this training matters.

Did you know mouth breathing can mimic or even worsen ADHD symptoms? When kids don’t get quality oxygen during the day (or at night while sleeping), focus, energy, and behavior take a hit.

Myofunctional therapy helps retrain healthy breathing patterns so kids can sleep better, focus longer, and feel their best.

Ever heard of “Adenoid Face”? Also called long face syndrome, this pattern can include:

🔹 Open mouth posture
🔹 Narrow or high palate
🔹 Elongated lower face
🔹 Dark eye circles
🔹 Forward head posture

These features often point to chronic mouth breathing and airway obstruction—which can affect sleep, speech, feeding, and facial growth over time.

Recognizing the signs early helps us support healthier outcomes.

Want to learn how to assess and intervene? Our last trainings of the year are coming up:

TOTS Training: Sept 18–19 & Nov 13–14
STONES Approach: Oct 23–24

You’ve invested thousands into braces or aligners… But why are your teeth shifting again?

Here’s the thing most people aren’t told:
Teeth don’t just move because of age or genetics.
Tongue posture, swallowing patterns, and oral habits can all affect how your smile stays aligned — or doesn’t.

🦋 What can help?
• Myofunctional therapy to retrain tongue rest and function
• Oral habit elimination (like thumb sucking or mouth breathing)
• Collaboration with providers who understand the full picture — not just the teeth

Alignment is about more than straight teeth. It’s about functional balance.

Did you know your mouth and nose share more than just space? When both are clean and functioning well, they help create a healthier environment—reducing harmful bacteria and supporting better breathing.

✔️ Clear nasal passages = better oxygen flow and less mouth breathing
✔️ Good oral hygiene = fewer places for bacteria to thrive
✔️ Together, they support a balanced microbiome and better myofunctional outcomes

It’s not just about fresh breath—it’s about whole-body wellness.

One month out! Our September TOTS Training® is coming up fast — and seats are limited.

Tongue ties can impact feeding, speech, breathing, sleep, and jaw development — but recognizing and treating them takes more than a quick look under the tongue.

That’s where TOTS Training® comes in.

You’ll learn to clinically reason through tethered oral tissues, understand when to refer, and build care plans that actually work — especially in complex cases.

📅 September 20–21

How Sleep-Disordered Breathing Affects More Than Just Sleep

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) doesn’t just mean restless nights—it can impact a child’s attention, mood, growth, and even their oral development. When breathing is disrupted, oxygen levels drop, leading to:

• Difficulty concentrating and learning
• Behavioral challenges
• Poor muscle tone and coordination
• Delayed speech and feeding milestones

Addressing SDB early with a holistic approach—including orofacial therapy—can improve sleep quality and support better overall development.

Think you know your tongue? Think again.

👅 It’s not just for tasting! The tongue plays a major role in breathing, swallowing, speaking, and even facial development.

👅 It’s made up of eight muscles — and none of them ever get a day off!

👅 Your tongue can actually show signs of oral restrictions, tension, or dysfunction that impact the entire body.

👅 Tongue posture matters! Where your tongue rests can influence your bite, your airway, and even your sleep quality.

The tongue is small but mighty — and deserves way more credit than it gets. Have questions or know another interesting fact? Drop it in the comments below!
