Hello! I just found one of your articles about the proper placement of the tongue and the ill effects of improper habits and I just needed to thank you. For many years I’ve dealt with overcrowding and feeling as if my tongue is too big for my mouth to the point that I was constantly noticing it many times a day and especially into the night. I tried the exercise about how the tongue should be properly placed and was more than astounded that for that time I was temporarily relieved of my issue! Of course I know that it is something I am going to have to practice several times a day for a while, especially considering the years I was doing it incorrectly. I would love to know more about your program and what you offer. Thank you!
Sleep Soundly, Wake Refreshed.
People with a “normal” sleep duration of six to nine hours per night report higher scores for quality of life and lower scores for depression severity compared to short and long sleepers.
Improved Mouth Shape. Improved Sleep.
Disorders of the muscles and functions of the face and mouth can obstruct your child’s airway and cause sleep apnea. Craniofacial Orthopedics can help.
Sleep Soundly, Without Grinding Your Teeth
TMD (Temporomandibular Dysfunction) is not one disorder, but refers to a group of conditions, often painful, that affect the jaw joint and associated muscles when the joints do not work together correctly. Treat TMD for a good night’s rest.
Better Oral Posture. Improved Sleep.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy corrects the oral posture of the muscles of the face and can be used to correct the behavior patterns caused by finger-sucking or thumb-sucking. Retrain these muscles to improve your airway and sleep.
