If your child is having trouble with their ability to concentrate in school or behavior is getting a little messy at home - take some time to get an evaluation with a sleep specialist.
Literature also shows that children with breathing problems like snoring, mouth breathing, or sleep apnea are 40–100 times more likely to develop behavioral problems resembling ADHD.

Lets catch this early while we have better options to help children instead of going straight to medication. We need to treat the ROOT CAUSE!

GET AN EVALUATION WITH A SLEEP SPECIALIST!!!! Your child should be having movies all night long! It is very important during the growth and development to have proper sleep cycles for hormone regulation! LETS GET THOSE KIDS DREAMING!!!!

Just a little friendly reminder to all those 𝑴𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒔 out there! Life gets crazy (honestly that's such an understatement) BUT we all need a circle to help get us back on track! I am here to help!
What questions do you have about the Myo Munchee?? DM me or drop a comment below!

THE MYO MUNCHEE!! I have been sharing a lot this week about it! This appliance is great for kids to use that are in between treatment ages. Helping guide that growth can help that jaw structure grow and form the way it was suppose to!

Let's help those kiddos strengthen their jaw and chewing muscles to help assist in optimal oral health and function! I have a few openings this week in our new location in Boise! We can't wait for you to see the new location!

𝐎𝐮𝐜𝐡!!! 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬?! There is a direct link to pH level in the mouth, mouth breathing, and an increase in bacteria growth. This is why mouth breathers can be the BEST brushers and flossers and STILL get cavities! Mouth breathing can wreck havoc on your teeth and oral health!

If you are a dental hygienist and want to learn how to screen your patients better - send me a DM!

When a tongue-tie goes undiagnosed, it can also affect sleep - in significant ways. Due to the sub-optimal resting position of a tethered-tongue, a child who has one may tend toward mouth-breathing and/or over-reliance on a dummy to sleep.

Lets get your babies sleeping! If you or your child has trouble sleeping - clink the link in my bio to schedule your consult today!!

How do you know if your baby has a tongue tie?

Signs and symptoms of tongue-tie
(Babies and mothers may experience some, but not all of these)

For the mother:
-Ni***es which look misshapen, ridged or blanched after feeds
-Ni***es that are sore/blistered/cracked/bleeding/bruised Mastitis and blocked ducts
-Low milk supply
-Over supply of milk
-Exhaustion from frequent/constant feeding Distress from failing to establish breastfeeding

For baby:
-Restricted tongue movement – baby may be unable to poke his tongue out or lick his lips. During crying the tongue may remain in the floor of the mouth or just the edges may curl up forming a ‘dish’ shape.
-Inability to open mouth wide when attaching to the breast resulting in biting/grinding behaviour Unsettled/fussy behaviour when latching to the breast and during feeds
-Coughing on the milk flow
-Difficulty staying attached to the breast
-Falling asleep at the breast before the end of a feed
-Frequent or very long feeds
-Excessive early weight loss/ poor weight gain/faltering growth Clicking noises and/ or dribbling during feeds

If you check yes to any of these symptoms, an evaluation from a lactation specialist to help guide you through your journey is a must! From there a referral to a release provider will be given! You got this mama!!

Resting oral posture has to do with how your hold your mouth and tongue when it isn’t doing anything. Take a moment to observe yourself right now while reading this article.

-How is your mouth – is it open or closed?
-Where is your tongue – is it pressed against the roof of your mouth or lying low? ---How are you breathing – through your mouth or your nose?

Depending on how you answered these questions, your answers could be indicative that you have an OMD. Myofunctional therapy can help retrain your oral muscles, including your tongue, to rest properly and function the right way when you swallow, while encouraging nasal breathing.

𝐌𝐘𝐎𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝚰𝐒 𝐂𝐔𝐓𝚰𝐄! Keeping your lips together at rest is one of the goals of this Myobrace treatment and is important because the forces of the tongue, lips and cheeks can have a big effect on how your teeth are positioned, as well as how your jaws grow. Lets get these kids growing, eating, sleeping, and learning to their FULL POTENTIAL!

The Myobrace®System is preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that focuses on addressing the underlying causes of crooked teeth, often without the need for braces or extraction of teeth, unlocking natural growth and development. Treatment is best suited to children aged 3 to 15 and involves using a series of removable intra-oral appliances that are worn for 1-2 hours each day plus overnight while sleeping.

Schedule your free consult with me to see if you child would be a great candidate for the MyoBrace! Link in bio

𝘾𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚!
Even on a plane, you can practice your myo! I love this picture because it shows two totally different max openings.(Me on the right, Dr. Todd on the left) One of the goals of a myofunctional therapist is to help tone the tongue to help it function properly - this helps promote nasal breathing!
