Reminder: Just because it’s “common”, doesn’t mean it’s “normal”.

Sleep should be quiet, still, and restorative. If there’s snoring, mouth breathing, tossing and turning, teeth grinding, or frequent wake-ups, the body may be compensating. Theses are signs the airway may be struggling!

This is exactly what we look at in a myofunctional therapy assessment: how breathing, tongue posture, jaw development, and sleep all connect.

If this sounds familiar, we’re here to support you! Small changes can make a big difference!

Comment SLEEP WELL and we’ll send you 4 simple but powerful tips to support better breathing and deeper sleep, for you or your child.

You wake up between 2–4am with a clenched jaw, and pain. Your sleep study says you’re “fine.” But you don’t feel fine.

There’s something called Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) — and we see it often in young, healthy patients (especially women). Your airway doesn’t fully collapse like sleep apnea, but it narrows. Your body senses it, you micro-wake, you move, you clench… especially during REM when your muscles relax and the tongue falls back.

On a standard sleep study, it can look “normal” because oxygen doesn’t drop much. But the repeated arousals? They matter.

If you’re exhausted, waking at the same time nightly, or dealing with TMJ and clenching — there may be more to the story! That’s why a full oral + airway assessment matters!

Ever wonder why we focus so much on where your tongue sits? We’re training a powerful muscle!

In the BEFORE photo, you can see the tongue struggling to lift. When the tongue lacks the strength or range of motion to reach the roof of the mouth, it compensates by resting low. This can lead to mouth breathing, messy eating, or even disrupted sleep.

Fast forward 6 months, and look at that progress! đź‘…

By focusing on specific myofunctional exercises, we’ve retrained the muscles of the tongue and face to work more efficiently. This isn’t just a better “lift”, it represents:
✓ Improved Muscle Tone: A stronger tongue that knows its “home” is at the roof of the mouth
âś“ Better Function: Optimized breathing, swallowing, and airway support
âś“ Sustainable Habit: Turning those exercises into natural, healthy resting postures

The tongue is a powerful muscle, and when it functions correctly, the whole body feels the difference!

What if your headaches are starting with how you breathe?

Jaw tension and clenching are often the body’s way of protecting a stressed airway, especially when breathing patterns aren’t ideal. Over time, those compensations overload the jaw, face, and neck… and headaches show up as the symptom.

Myofunctional therapy looks at the why behind the tension: how you breathe, how your tongue rests, and how your muscles work together, so relief isn’t just temporary!

Whether you’re 5 or 55, where your tongue lives matters!

Proper oral rest posture (lips together and tongue on the roof of the mouth) is crucial for long-term airway development and functional breathing. When this foundation is missing, we often see a ripple effect with mouth breathing, poor sleep quality and overall systemic health changes.

This is what true tongue suction and muscle retraining look like!

Not forcing, or compensating, but teaching the tongue to rest, lift, and function the way it was designed to.

What changed:
• Stronger, more coordinated tongue muscles
• Improved tongue-to-palate suction
• Better stability for breathing, swallowing, and jaw function

This kind of progress doesn’t happen by chance - it happens with guided, intentional therapy that addresses function first.

If you’re unsure whether tongue suction or muscle weakness could be impacting your airway, comment “GUIDANCE” and we’ll help point you in the right direction!

If you’re clenching, grinding, or dealing with TMJ pain, you’ve probably already tried something - a night guard, ortho, stress management.

But if the problem keeps coming back, the real question is:
what is your body compensating for? At Myo Moves, we look for answers through three key pillars:
• Structure: where the jaw and joints are positioned
• Function: how the muscles are working together
• Airway & rest posture: tongue position, breathing, and nervous system support

When the jaw sits too far back or muscles are overworking, pain shows up. When breathing or tongue posture is off, the system never fully rests. Myofunctional therapy helps address the why, so the jaw, muscles, and airway can work together instead of against each other!

💬 Comment “MY JAW” if you want help getting to the root of clenching, grinding, or TMJ pain.

Bedtime struggles aren’t always bad sleep habits and disrupted routines, they’re often about emotional regulation.

Many mouth-breathing kids go to bed with nervous systems still stuck in high alert after a long, stimulating day. When the body is in fight-or-flight, it’s harder to relax the jaw, rest the tongue, shift into nasal breathing, and stay asleep.

One of the simplest (and most overlooked) tools is providing emotional connection before bed! Giving your child space to name and express emotions helps the brain shift out of threat mode and into rest-and-digest, which is the state their body needs for deep, restorative sleep.

Reminder: Sometimes the most powerful bedtime tool is a nervous system your child can borrow!

👇 Comment “sleep well” 💤 and we’ll share more gentle, airway-supportive bedtime tips.

Snoring in children is not normal — and it’s not something to ignore.

Snoring means the airway is partially blocked during sleep, which can reduce oxygen delivery to the brain and keep the nervous system in a constant state of stress.

When this happens night after night, the brain doesn’t get the restorative sleep it needs to regulate mood, behavior, and attention.

Many children who snore may show daytime symptoms like:
• hyperactivity or restlessness
• irritability or emotional outbursts
• difficulty focusing or learning
• fatigue that looks like “wired but tired” behavior

This isn’t a behavior problem.
It’s often a breathing and sleep problem.

I work with families to assess airway function, breathing patterns, and nervous system regulation — because how a child breathes at night deeply impacts how they function during the day.
