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.

Struggling with TMJD pain? 😣 Don’t overlook the basics.
Sometimes the most effective relief comes from the simplest habits. Here are 5 daily tips to support your jaw health naturally:

💧 Hydration – Muscles and joints function best when you're well-hydrated. Aim for 8+ glasses a day.
😴 Sleep – Deep, quality rest reduces inflammation and helps the body heal.
🥗 Balanced Meals – Fuel your body with whole foods and avoid chewy, crunchy snacks that stress your jaw.
🏃‍♀️ Gentle Movement – Daily exercise improves circulation and lowers tension held in the face, neck, and jaw.
🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness – Check in with your jaw throughout the day. Are you clenching? Drop your shoulders, breathe through your nose, and soften your bite.

✨ Small shifts = big results.
