Elite Myofunctional Therapy

Elite Myofunctional Therapy Helping kids, teens, and adults breathe better, sleep deeper, and live healthier through personalized myofunctional therapy.

We specialize in TMJ/TMD, tongue ties, and airway health for all ages. Natural solutions for lasting wellness Hi, I’m Bernalea Liesse, a dental hygienist with 21 years of experience and the founder of Elite Myofunctional Therapy. After discovering that my own family—and even I—had been living with undiagnosed orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), everything changed. From TMJ pain and sleep issues to tongue ties and narrow palates, we faced it all. Our journey opened my eyes and fueled my passion to help others find answers sooner. No one should have to suffer in silence or wait years for relief. Now, I dedicate my work to guiding families and individuals toward better breathing, improved sleep, and lasting wellness—naturally.

Holiday stress = more clenching.

Here’s a simple way to relax your jaw:

Take a deep nasal breath, exhale with a hum (mmm), and feel your face melt.
Repeat anytime tension hits.

Try eating your meal without opening your mouth to breathe between bites.
You’ll notice:
✅ You eat slower
✅ You feel full faster
✅ You digest better
That’s your airway saying THANK YOU!

This week, pay attention when you eat.

Do you chew fast? Talk with food? Gulp drinks?
Each habit affects how your tongue and jaw function.

🧘‍♀️ Slow down, breathe through your nose, chew fully — your digestion and face will thank you!

Ever had braces twice?”
You’re not alone — most repeat ortho cases never address muscle patterns.
Braces move teeth.
Muscles move them back.
Myofunctional therapy retrains the tongue & lips to hold the teeth where they belong. 🦷

You swallow 500–700 times a day! 😳
If your swallow pushes forward… that’s hundreds of mini “braces movements” daily.

🚨 Mouth breathing changes your face shape.
It narrows the jaw, elongates the face, and affects your bite.
Not genetics — airway posture!

Your tongue should gently suction to the roof of your mouth — even when resting! 👅
That suction is nature’s retainer for your teeth.
Lose it → open bite, poor sleep, fatigue.
Tongue up. Lips closed. Breathe through your nose. Always.
