Did you know that myofunctional therapy can help alleviate Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) symptoms?

By targeting the muscles of the face, jaw, and tongue, myofunctional therapy can:
improve jaw alignment and function, reduce muscle tension and pain, and enhance overall oral function and comfort.

If you are struggling with TMD, consider exploring myofunctional therapy with our therapists, Carrie or Sarah as a potential solution.

🌟 Myth Busting: Infant Tongue Tie Release 🌟

🍼 We hear it every day from the parents of our most precious patients - they are often told that babies with a tongue tie will simply “grow out of it.” However, this myth can lead to prolonged struggles with breastfeeding and development.

✨ Here’s the truth: Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) can impact feeding, sleep, oral development, and even speech later in life. Early identification and treatment can make a significant difference for babies (and their mamas). Our oldest patient that we have treated was 75 years old and she did not grow out of her tongue tie.

💡 If you notice your little one struggling to latch during breastfeeding or if they seem to have difficulty moving their tongue, trust your motherly/ parental instinct. It’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional that has specialized training on how to properly identify tethered oral tissues.

👏 Let’s raise awareness and ensure our babies get the help they need for a healthy future!

Snoring Is Not Harmless—It’s a Neurological Warning Sign
A groundbreaking University of Maryland study involving over 10,000 children revealed a sobering truth:
Children who snore three or more nights per week show measurable changes in the gray matter of the brain—specifically in regions tied to emotional regulation, attention, and processing.

These structural changes were most significant in the frontal lobe, the very center of higher brain function.
This isn't just about sleep—this is about your child’s long-term cognitive, emotional, and behavioral health.

At TTAC Maryland, we specialize in identifying and addressing the root causes of sleep-disordered breathing, such as tongue-tie and oral dysfunction—so children can breathe better, sleep deeper, and thrive fully.

🧠 Sleep matters. Airway matters. Early intervention matters.

The Power of Early Intervention
Prevention is the greatest gift we can give growing children.

At TTAC Maryland, we believe that identifying and addressing oral restrictions early can profoundly shape a child’s development—supporting clearer speech, deeper sleep, better breathing, and healthier facial growth.

By evaluating oral function in infancy and early childhood, we help families avoid years of struggle and lay the groundwork for lifelong wellness.

🌼 Don’t wait—early intervention leads to lasting transformation.
