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
