Did you know your tongue posture can affect your entire body posture?
⠀
Myofunctional therapy isn’t just about the mouth- it’s about how your oral muscles, especially the tongue, influence breathing, alignment, and posture from head to toe.
⠀
When your tongue rests low or improperly, it can lead to:

❌ Mouth breathing
❌ Forward head posture
❌ Neck and shoulder tension
❌ Poor spinal alignment
⠀
Myofunctional therapy helps retrain the muscles of the face, tongue, & jaws- encouraging proper tongue & jaw posture, nasal breathing, and improved head and neck alignment.
⠀
✅ Better breathing
✅ Better posture
✅ Better health

Bed wetting, night terrors, snoring & waking with gasps, constant hiccups… These are just a few of the tongue & lip tie symptoms that this young patient was experiencing.

Luckily, his mom did her own research & sought help. Check out the LIFE CHANGING improvements made since doing myofunctional therapy & having his oral ties released!

If you or your kiddo are experiencing any of these, give us a call.

Thinking about a tongue-tie release? Don’t skip the myofunctional therapy first.
⁣
Pre-op myofunctional therapy is more than just prep work. It’s a critical step that sets the foundation for long-term success. Here’s why it matters:
✅ Trains proper tongue posture & function
✅ Strengthens the muscles for optimal healing
✅ Builds trust between patient and provider
✅ Reduces risk of reattachment post-release
⁣
Myofunctional therapy ensures you’re not just ready for the procedure- you’re ready to thrive after it.
⁣
Thinking about a release? Start with function first.

Did you know?

Around 38% of children have orofacial myofunctional disorders- and that number jumps to 81% among those with speech struggles.

By age 5, three-quarters of kids already show signs of jaw and dental alignment issues- and by age 12, 90% of facial growth is complete, limiting correction potential later on.

Modern diets of soft, processed foods have contributed to weaker jaw development and narrow facial structure.

What We Do at Gulf South Myofunctional Therapy:

⭐️ Myofunctional therapy retrains the muscles of the face and mouth, helping to:
Promote natural, healthy jaw and facial development

⭐️ Encourage nasal breathing to support optimal structural growth

⭐️Correct tongue posture and swallowing patterns

⭐️Reduce the risk of sleep apnea, mouth breathing, and the need for future surgeries

Life changing results, long-lasting benefits:

⭐️Up to 62% improvement in sleep apnea for kids

⭐️Fewer surgeries, better orthodontic outcomes

⭐️Empowered kids with improved speech, sleep, and confidence!

Get ahead of jaw and dental issues early- let’s build a strong foundation for your child’s oral and overall well-being.

Myofunctional therapy retrains the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue to promote nasal breathing, proper tongue posture, and balanced muscle function- the foundations of healthy sleep.

Here’s What the Research Shows:

✅ 62% improvement in pediatric sleep apnea after completing myofunctional therapy
✅ 50% improvement in adult sleep apnea
✅ 59% reduction in snoring intensity
✅ Better oxygenation, deeper REM cycles, and improved behavior in children
✅ Lower risk of ADHD misdiagnosis- many sleep-deprived kids are labeled with attention disorders!

Sleep is not a luxury. It’s a foundation for a healthy life.

When I look into a client’s mouth, their tongue gives me a great deal of insight into potential underlying issues that can not only be addressed- but solved for good!

Do any of these descriptions sound familiar to you?

✨ Success Story Spotlight ✨
This mom, a speech-language pathologist, knew something wasn’t quite right. Her sweet girl’s tongue just wasn’t functioning properly during speech and eating.

Main Concern: Speech articulation issues

Results After Myofunctional Therapy:

✅ MASSIVE improvement in speech articulation
✅ Eating more efficiently
✅ Sleeping soundly (no more restless nights!)
✅ No longer chewing on objects

When the tongue works as it should, everything changes- from clearer speech to better sleep!

“I wish I knew this sooner...”
- clients & parents every day
⁠
For years, I thought mouth breathing was no big deal. But what I didn’t realize was:
✔️ It can lead to poor sleep quality
✔️ It increases the risk of snoring and sleep apnea
✔️ It affects how our jaws grow (especially in children)
⁠
Myofunctional therapy changes everything- often in ways people don’t expect.
⁠
If you’re dealing with fatigue, mouth breathing, TMJ pain, or even tongue-tie concerns... this might be the missing piece you’ve been looking for.

More than 50% of our population doesn’t get adequate sleep. Unfortunately, lack of sleep causes so many issues, no matter your age! If sleeping for you includes an open mouth, tossing and turning, & a dry mouth or sore throat, then it may be time for you to give us a call. Myofunctional therapy helps retrain your orofacial muscles to make nasal breathing, closed lips, and correct tongue posture your new normal.

A new season of life driven by hormonal changes can always bring on new challenges- but that doesn’t mean we have to accept discomfort and struggling as “normal”.

Let’s talk about orthodontic retainers. They are wires or appliances that prevent your teeth from moving after having had braces. While this does essentially “work”, what happens when they are removed, break, or get lost? Retainers are used because the real problem, muscular dysfunction, was never treated! If we correct orofacial muscle dysfunction- we avoid the need for retainers altogether!

While orthodontic treatment can be beneficial, it is ALWAYS important to treat the underlying issue… not just the teeth!
