How Oral Muscle Health Shapes Your Child's Future
Curious?
Does your child need assessment?
-
How a child breathes and uses their oral muscles plays a major role in airway development and long-term health
Does your child have any of the following?
tongue thrust
open bite, mouth breathing
prolonged finger-sucking or pacifier habit?
sleep issues
speech issues
Allergies
Lowered concentration
Snoring/Loud breathing
Bed-wetting
Fatigue
-
Myofunctional therapy is a beneficial tool in habit correction, interceptive treatment of sleep-disordered breathing, and the promotion of orofacial growth and development.
Non-invasive airway treatment that is fun and effective.
-
It's usually easier to improve mouth breathing, tongue thrust, speech delays, and poor chewing habits if caught early.
Myofunctional therapy can serve as a form of “training” for oral muscles to improve tone, posture and function.

Exercise-based, non-invasive, and child-friendly
Easy and Fun!
Exercises promote healthy growth and development — accomplished through targeted muscle exercises
Sessions are typically done in-office + at-home daily exercises
Treatment benefits include better facial symmetry, reduced snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, improved oral muscle movement, clearer thinking, and more balanced development. Studies show that myofunctional therapy decreases apnea-hypopnea index by approximately 62% in children.
At Celebrate, we take a collaborative approach — we may co-treat with speech-language pathologists, ENTs, OT/PTs or orthodontists as needed
