✨ Amazing progress in speech therapy!

It’s incredible to see the gains this child has made through hard work and consistent support. Building phonemic awareness is such an important foundation for children—it strengthens early literacy skills and supports clearer articulation.

For our bilingual learners, developing strong foundational skills in their dominant language is key. These skills can then transfer across languages, helping children communicate and learn with greater confidence. 🌟

Jaw stability is not just about the jaw joint.

The jaw relies on support from the tongue, lips, and surrounding facial muscles to function properly during breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speaking.

When these muscles are not working together, the body often compensates. This can show up as jaw shifting, clenching or grinding, or difficulty maintaining a relaxed closed-mouth posture.

Myofunctional therapy focuses on retraining these muscles to help support more balanced and stable oral function.

If you notice these signs in yourself or your child, it may be worth exploring a functional evaluation.

👀 Take a look! Is your child’s mouth open while resting or playing?
Mouth breathing is more common than you think — and it can affect sleep, growth, and oral health.

Mouth breathing, restless sleep, constipation, and bedwetting are often treated as separate concerns. But the body doesn’t work in isolated parts.

This parent-only workshop will help you understand the why behind these symptoms and how breathing, sleep, digestion, and regulation are connected.

Our bodies are supported by a continuous web of connective tissue that runs from the tongue, through the diaphragm, and all the way down to the pelvic floor. This system works closely with the nervous system to help coordinate breathing, posture, sleep, digestion, and bladder control.
Mouth breathing isn’t just about the mouth. Breathing, sleep, digestion, and bladder function are all connected. When children don’t breathe well at night, their bodies may stay in a low-grade stress state instead of fully resting. Over time, that stress can show up in unexpected ways—such as constipation or bedwetting.
This is why airway health matters. When we support healthy breathing, we’re supporting the whole body—especially sleep, regulation, and development.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and there are ways to help.

Parents—did you know that mouth breathing may be connected to issues like constipation and bedwetting?
Westchester Myofunctional Specialties is excited to be partnering with Marina Castellanos, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, for an upcoming parent education lecture exploring an often-overlooked connection in child development:
Mouth Breathing, Constipation & Bedwetting: The Missing Link
🗓 February 11
📍 Parent Education Lecture
👨‍👩‍👧 Designed for parents of growing children
We’ll be discussing how breathing patterns, posture, and core function can influence digestion, sleep, and bladder control—and what signs parents can look for at home.
✨ More details coming soon.
Save the date—you won’t want to miss this conversation.

Representing the IAOM and helping to share and spread our love and passion for all things OMD and OMT related made this year’s 101st Greater New York Dental Meeting absolutely unforgettable! The energy was truly electric—energizing, exciting, and incredibly motivational. ⚡️
The crowds that stopped by our booth were absolutely wonderful. So many attendees had already heard of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, and it was inspiring to see how eager everyone was to learn more—whether to better educate themselves, expand their clinical lens, or bring a higher level of care to their patients through proper diagnosis, referral, and treatment.
We were thrilled to reconnect with familiar faces and equally grateful to meet so many new colleagues from across the dental community. Your curiosity, passion, and openness to growth are what make events like this so special.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, shared stories, and helped make this year’s meeting unforgettable. We’re already looking forward to next year! 💙🦷✨

Talent alert! She can practice her suction bite and make her puppet do it too 😄
Can you do a suction bite? Try it — gently close your lips, create light suction, and feel your tongue resting up on the palate.
This simple skill helps train proper tongue posture, strengthen oral muscles, and promote nasal breathing. It supports better stability for swallowing, speech, and even resting oral posture.

Such a small movement — but such a powerful foundation for orofacial balance!

Have you ever noticed how one small thing — like mouth breathing — can set off a chain reactions?

One concept that really stood out from a recent Breath Institute lecture was how interconnected our oral and postural systems truly are. It’s all connected — from tongue posture and breathing to growth and function.

Each compensatory step perpetuates the dysfunction — unless we interrupt it through functional rehabilitation and interdisciplinary care.

Awareness is the first step to breaking the cycle. 🌿
