Thinking about a frenectomy? Don’t skip the myofunctional therapy! 👅✨

Both patient presented with different symptoms, chief concerns, frenum attachments and muscular weaknesses, all had different symptoms.

📌 Two patients were able to have procedure with a highly trained airway focused and tongue tie specialized dentist. One patient needed to see ENT with training in airway and tongue ties due to complexity of case!

📌Each patient needed different amount of sessions of pre work before being cleared for a release.

Every patient is unique and their care plan is personalized to reflect this with the same end goals in mind! A frenectomy is just one piece of the puzzle. Myofunctional therapy helps prepare the muscles before and retrain them after the procedure to support proper tongue posture, swallowing, breathing, and speech. 💪

🔍 Not sure if you or your child needs a frenectomy? A myofunctional therapist can guide you with assessments, referrals, and personalized therapy plans.

📅 Limited spots available — book your session today and start your journey to better oral function and whole-body wellness!

So excited for my patients as we go into a new month! Several big wins in June and I can’t wait to see their progress continue.

Some wins include but not limited to:

-3 successful tongue tie releases with symptoms of hyperactivity, picky eating significantly reduced, instant tension in jaw joints and neck gone 🤯
-2 releases avoided 👏🏼
- treated the root cause of tongue thrust/open bit relapse (deviated septum 👃)
-better quality of sleep 😴
- gave parents tools for kids too young for therapy to still support them at home and got referrals to the correct providers for their age 👶🏼🍼
-big break throughs in a very timid patient coming out of her shell 👯‍♀️

🙌🏻 So many more wins to come in July for these patients and more! Therapy is not always a straight line sometimes it requires other interventions and sometimes it can help avoid them. Each patient is unique and treatment is personalized to reflect that. If you are curious if myofunctional therapy can help you don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or set up a consultation!

Stay tuned for some awesome before and afters coming 🤩

Play with Purpose! 🧸👶

Engaging in home-based play that includes blowing bubbles, making silly faces, using straws, and playing with different textures helps build strong oral-facial motor skills from a young age. These simple, fun activities lay the groundwork for healthy breathing, speaking, eating, and facial development!

Need Extra Guidance?

A myofunctional therapist is an excellent tool for supporting your child’s oral development. They offer expert advice, help with habit cessation (like thumb-sucking or pacifier use), and provide referrals to other healthcare professionals when needed. Don’t hesitate to reach out and build a support team that empowers your child’s growth—one smile at a time! 😊

Have you or your child ever had a provider checked for a tongue tie, only to have them look at the tongue and dismiss you? Do symptoms persist with open mouth posture, headaches, neck pain, stomach aches or poor sleep? 💤

Myofunctional therapist is specialized in tethered oral tissues to look deeper into not just the appearance of the tissue but how it functions and impacts your daily quality of life! A tongue tie evaluation at our office includes so much more than just looking at the structure alone.

Overcome these challenges by retraining the muscles of the mouth and improving overall function with myofunctional therapy. Sometimes avoiding the need for a release completely!

Reach out for a functional evaluation to see if your unresolved symptoms could be related to a tongue tie and how myofunctional therapy can help! 📩
