Most parents don’t realize that:
mouth breathing isn’t “normal”
… it’s a sign of airway dysfunction.

If your child:
• sleeps with their mouth open
• snores or grinds
• has dark circles
• struggles with braces or crowding

There may be more going on than just teeth.
We help retrain breathing, posture, and oral function so kids can grow the way they were designed to.

In adults, based on an 8 hour night, an Apnoea Hypopnoea Index of under 5 means up to 39 airway collapse or choking events are labelled “normal”.

Forty events?
Now it is a disease.

Physiology does not work in neat cut offs.

Each airway collapse causes a surge in stress hormones, a drop in oxygen, a micro arousal of the brain and fragmentation of sleep. The body does not know or care whether it is the 39th or the 40th event.

If an adult choked every 12 minutes while awake, no one would call that normal.

Numbers do not define health.
Breathing quality does.

Airway. Sleep. Growth.

These three things impact everything — from facial development to behavior, learning, and overall health.

At Eastern Shore Myo, we help both kids & adults retrain oral function to support healthy breathing and optimal growth.

Did you know how you breathe can affect your sleep, focus, and even facial development?

Breathing through your nose—rather than your mouth—does so much more than you might think:

🌿 Filters, warms, and humidifies the air you breathe
🧠 Boosts oxygen uptake and brain function
😴 Supports quality, restorative sleep
😁 Protects oral health by keeping saliva balanced
🫶 Encourages proper jaw and facial development
🧘‍♀️ Promotes a calm and balanced nervous system

If you or your child struggles with mouth breathing, snoring, or sleep issues, myofunctional therapy can help retrain the muscles for healthy nasal breathing.

✨ Breathe better. Sleep better. Live better.

✅ Breathing
✅ Sleeping

✨ Incredible Results After Myofunctional Therapy + Functional Frenuloplasty ✨

The first image shows the patient prior to therapy, with noticeable oral and palatal tension.
After completing myofunctional therapy and a functional frenuloplasty, she experienced remarkable improvements — including significant tension relief, enhanced tongue mobility, and better oropharyngeal function.

As a professional singer, she now reports being able to reach higher notes with ease and sustain them longer due to improved tongue and soft palate coordination and reduced muscular restriction.

This case beautifully highlights how optimizing oral function can positively impact both airway health and vocal performance. 🎵💫
