Breathing Life into Wellness

11/14/2025

As moms, we’ve noticed our own kids mouth breathing — sometimes during the day, sometimes at night — and it made us stop and think about how much it can affect them. Restless sleep, low energy, trouble focusing, and even changes in how the face develops are all connected to this habit. Seeing it in our own children is what brought us to Myo, and it’s opened our eyes to how important it is to help kids breathe correctly.

Now, we want to share what we’ve learned with other parents and provide tools to support kids who need it. We share a lot of practical tips and helpful information, so if you know a parent who could benefit, please share this post — it could make a big difference for their child.

🌟 If your child is struggling with mouth breathing, comment “help” and we’ll guide you on the next steps.

👅 The One Elastic Hold — it looks simple, but it’s a powerhouse.

This exercise helps train your tongue to rest up on the palate (where it belongs!) so nasal breathing becomes natural again 🌬️

Why does that matter?
Because proper tongue rest = better jaw growth, straighter teeth, and deeper, more restorative sleep 😴✨

This one isn’t a beginner move — it’s part of the progressive work we teach inside our online programs, where we guide you week by week through exercises that retrain your oral function from the ground up.

Mouth breathing, snoring, and open bites are common in young children — and they can affect sleep, oral development, and overall health. This 5-year-old came to us with all three, and after 8 myofunctional therapy sessions and a tongue tie release, the changes have been incredible. Snoring is gone, breathing has improved dramatically, and his bite has shifted to a healthier, more functional position.

This is exactly what we see regularly in our practice — with the right guidance and exercises, children can develop better oral habits, improve airway function, and support healthy growth. Next steps for this child include working with an orthodontist to further optimize bite and airway development.

We work with families across Ontario, either 1:1 virtually or in person at our Barrie clinic, to create lasting improvements and set kids up for a healthier future.

If your child snores, breathes through their mouth, grinds their teeth, or wakes up tired, I know how worrying it can feel as a parent. You might notice dark circles under their eyes, restless sleep, or even challenges with focus and behavior during the day. What many parents don’t realize is that these signs often point to mouth breathing and poor oral muscle function—things that can quietly affect your child’s growth, sleep quality, and overall health.

When the mouth stays open and the tongue rests low, it can impact facial development, dental alignment, and even airway size as they grow. The good news is, these patterns can be improved through gentle, guided exercises that help your child learn to breathe through their nose, seal their lips, and use their tongue correctly. That’s exactly what our Foundations Program was designed for—a digital, step-by-step plan that teaches kids the building blocks of healthy breathing and oral function in a way that’s simple and fun to follow at home.

📢For the month of November, the Foundations Program is 30% off for Black Friday. It’s the perfect time to start helping your child breathe, sleep, and feel better naturally. If your little one is under 4, check out the Myo Early Start Program, created specifically for toddlers and preschoolers. It’s also on sale this month.

👻 Scary truth time!

We are often told kids “grow out of” teeth grinding… but here’s what’s actually happening:

Grinding teeth can be the body’s cry for help — it’s fighting to reopen a struggling airway while your little one sleeps. 😬

And whats truly scary? Many providers were never trained to see that connection. 🫣 Just 3 years ago- I would have been included in that list!

If your child grinds their teeth, snores, sleeps with their mouth open, or wakes up tired… it’s time to look beyond the teeth. 💤 Because why not check when the body is giving us the signs?

💡 It’s not something to wait out — it’s something to work on.

How do we help?
1) Educate about correct oral function
2) Step by step exercise program to practice at home
3) See improvements in sleep quality, breathing, focus, jaw growth & development

This is my son. We were always told everything was fine — his teeth, his breathing, his sleep. But in reality, there were so many little signs we didn’t realize were connected… enlarged tonsils, mouth breathing at night, snoring, bedwetting, teeth grinding.

When I learned how much those things tie back to how the mouth and face grow, it completely changed how I looked at his ‘crowded baby teeth.’ The earlier you start supporting proper muscle function and breathing, the easier it is to guide healthy growth — not just for their smile, but for their overall health.

If you want to know what early support can look like for your child, drop a 🔥 in the comments and I’ll send you the details.

Your child has enlarged tonsils or adenoids, snores at night, breathes through their mouth, or always seems tired no matter how much they sleep 😴 Sound familiar? You’re not alone and it turns out the solution might be simpler than you think.

Once you understand how something as small as mouth posture or the way they breathe can affect not just tonsils but focus, energy, mood, and even facial growth, it all starts to make sense 💡

Parents around the world are realizing that Myofunctional Therapy can gently and naturally support their child’s airway health without surgery or stress 🌿

Our page is packed with those “why did no one tell me this sooner?” moments, information so eye-opening you’ll want to save it and share it with your friends 📲

👉Comment “help” and we’ll jump into your DMs to show you exactly where to start 💬

Disclaimer: Sometimes surgery is the right and necessary choice. We’re simply advocating for looking at all the options so families can make the most informed decisions possible ❤️
