Does your child still suck their thumb, chew on clothing, or bite their nails?
It might seem like just a comfort habit, but these actions can quietly lead to long-term challenges.

✨ At Myofunction Junction of MN, we address both the habit and the underlying muscle patterns that come with it.

👉 Our therapy helps:

Replace harmful habits with healthy orofacial function
Improve tongue posture, breathing, and oral rest position
Support proper facial growth and speech development

🚨 Is Your Child Always Mouth Breathing? It Might Be More Than Just Allergies.

Chronic mouth breathing due to allergies can do more than disrupt sleep; it can alter your child’s facial growth, speech, and behavior. 😮

👃 Ongoing congestion forces kids to breathe through their mouth, which puts stress on their developing muscles and bones.

👉 At Myofunction Junction of MN, we specialize in orofacial myofunctional therapy to correct the root causes and help your child breathe, sleep, and grow better.

📞 Call us today to see how therapy can change your child’s future.

We've had lots to celebrate at Myofunction Junction (and not much time for social media!) Habit elimination has such a positive impact on facial and dental growth-not to mention what a boost to self esteem. I'm so proud of the hard work these kids have done. And a shout out to our older kids who have succeeded in eliminating their habits even though we won't post picture 😉🥳🥳 We still have some myofunctional disorders to correct after the habit is eliminated but off to an amazing start!

Couldn't resist a Sunday funny! But if you notice that you habitually breath through your mouth... You should know that mouth breathing increases your risk of of inhaling unfiltered air, allergic reactions to allergens, asthma, bad breath, tooth decay, gum inflammation (gingivitis), snoring, sleep apnea and teeth or jaw abnormalities. 😳 An Orofacial Myologist can assess why you or your child may be mouth breathing.

Treating the cause, not just the symptoms

After practicing as a clinical Licensed Dental Hygienist for over the past 20 years I couldn’t help but notice the detrimental effects that Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders has had on patients over the years. This led to my interest in the specialized field of Orofacial Myology. While I still love Dental Hygiene, the post graduate training in Orofacial Myology has led me to open a private practice that specializes only in myofunctional therapy. At Myofunction Junction of Minnesota, I work with individuals of all ages who suffer from inappropriate muscle function and incorrect habits involving the tongue, lips, jaws and face. The goal of therapy is to treat the cause of the problem, not just alleviate the symptoms.

One of the first steps is to help people eliminate noxious habits such as thumb sucking and extended pacifier use. Once any habits are eliminated myofunctional therapy can begin. Proper facial development is achieved through a series of exercises that help subconsciously habituate good resting patterns for the lips and tongue. The integration of therapy creates good habits that are vital for proper swallowing, breathing, articulation of sound and retention of orthodontics.
