A little sneak peek into our new space 🤍

Our first month in our new Myofunctional Spot Center for Tongue Tie, Airway, Feeding & Swallowing has been wonderful 🩵

It has truly been a dream come true to welcome our clients and families into a space designed just for them. We’ve felt so much love already, and it means everything to see how comfortable and supported everyone feels here.

We have so much more to share, including some exciting upcoming events, open house, workshops and more so stay tuned. ✨

Until then, take a peek at the photos. Or even better, stop by and say hello! We are open Monday through Friday from 10-6!

✨ Real progress. Functional change.

After just 7 myofunctional therapy sessions (via telehealth), we’re already seeing meaningful shifts in both function and appearance.

What changed?

• Improved facial tone and muscle activation
• More stable, balanced facial/oral resting posture
• Reduction in tongue thrust patterns
• Noticeable improvement in smile symmetry and control
• Better tongue positioning and awareness

Look closely at the “before” smile - you can see the tongue pushing forward (tongue thrust) and reduced muscle support.

Now compare that to the “after” - stronger, better positioning, more controlled, and more functional.

This is exactly why we focus on function first.

Noted functional improvements:
✔️Reduced snoring.
✔️Better sleep.
✔️Better breathing.
✔️Improved reflux and digestion due to improved swallow function.
✔️Better daytime focus.
✔️Reduced neck & facial tension.
✔️Decreased jaw pain.
✔️Decreased headaches.
✔️Decreased anxiety - better mood.
✔️Improved speech.

This amazing client is now properly prepared for release, setting the stage for optimal outcomes. She will continue to see improvements in function and symptoms over the next several weeks as she continues post-frenectomy therapy.

It is not cosmetic.

It is neuromuscular re-patterning, strengthening and balancing the right Orofacial muscles and reducing compensations in the wrong muscles.

This is NOT a cosmetic result. No Botox. No Fillers.

Same person. 8 weeks apart.

The results are undeniable and amazing

What changed?

Not her face.
Not her facial structure.

👉 Her function
👉 Her neuromuscular re-patterning
👉 Tongue tie release

✅The tension in her chin - relaxed
✅The tension in her lips - relaxed
✅The facial tension - relaxed
✅Jawline - improved
✅The compensation patterns - reduced
✅Tension in the body - reduced

We sent this client to the amazing for her tongue release. This is how collaboration works. Seamlessly.

Therapy will continue for several more weeks. To ensure best outcomes long term. Symptoms and function will continue to improve.

This is what happens when you address the root cause — not just the symptoms

👏🏼Myofunctional Therapy

Rooted in airway, neuromuscular function, and real change

7 sessions. That’s it.

No braces.
No appliances.
No quick fixes.

Just FUNCTION.

When you address the root cause instead of chasing symptoms… everything changes.

This is what happens when we stop focusing only on teeth
and start looking at the entire system:

• Tongue function
• Oral posture
• Muscle patterns
• Airway

Most people have never even been evaluated this way.

Because this is not traditional speech therapy.
And it’s not dentistry.

This is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy with a qualified specialized Speech Pathologist (SLP).

And this is why we see results like this in a matter of weeks. As we progress through the full program, this client will experience even more progress in functional symptoms.

If you’ve been told to “wait”
or that everything “looks fine”
but you know something is off…

Trust that.

You’re not crazy. You’re just looking in the wrong place.

We find what others miss. Choosing the right provider is the difference.

Myofunctional Therapy vs. Speech Therapy
It’s important to clarify that myofunctional therapy and speech therapy are not the same thing. Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a type of therapy that certain Speech-Language Pathologists (also known as Speech Therapists) specialize in. Not all speech therapists have pursued the additional training and experience necessary to become proficient in assessing and treating Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs).

Myofunctional therapy can be considered a foundational treatment when approaching speech problems. However, speech therapy will NOT aid in resolving an Oromyofunctional Disorder. Some children receive speech therapy for years, with no progress. Some people carry their speech articulation errors into adulthood. I am sure we can all think of an adult that we know who has an obvious “lisp” or who pronounces certain sounds differently. Oftentimes in these cases, there is something deeper going on that has been overlooked.

How Can Myofunctional Therapy Help With Speech?

What’s great about myofunctional therapy is that it can be used as a foundational treatment when addressing speech problems. Myofunctional therapy programs can teach both adults and children precise movements and placement of the tongue, along with the muscle control that can address functional problems related to speech, as well as chewing and the oral prep phase of swallowing.

03/23/2026

Most people think swallowing is automatic…
but dysfunctional patterns are more common than you think.

When the muscles aren’t working correctly, the body compensates - impacting breathing, jaw function, and overall health.

Myofunctional therapy retrains these patterns at the root to restore proper function.

YOU CAN’T FAKE GOOD SLEEP.

Same patient. Adult male. Two completely different nights.

But here’s what you don’t see…

Before starting myofunctional therapy, he was dealing with:

▫️ chronic mouth breathing
▫️ snoring
▫️ jaw tension + clenching
▫️ frequent night wakings
▫️ waking up exhausted despite “sleeping”
▫️ brain fog during the day

He also had an undiagnosed tongue tie impacting his airway and overall function

On the left:
low REM, poor efficiency, minimal recovery

On the right:
improved REM, longer sleep, significantly better quality

This shift didn’t happen by accident

It came from improving:
▫️ airway function
▫️ tongue posture
▫️ breathing patterns
▫️ and ultimately releasing the restriction that was limiting him

This is what we focus on in myofunctional therapy & everything can be done virtually via Telehealth like this client.

Not just how you feel…
but how your body is actually functioning during sleep

Because you can be in bed for 8 hours
and still not be getting restorative sleep

If you’re waking up tired, clenching, snoring, or mouth breathing…
there is usually a reason

And more often than not, it’s something we can improve in a few months.

Comment “SLEEP” if this sounds like you

Early coordination.
Future function.

Are You a Candidate for Myofunctional Therapy?

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders can present differently across the lifespan. What may seem like unrelated symptoms can often be connected through airway health, breathing patterns, tongue posture, and oral muscle function.

Take a look at the graphic above. Do any of these sound familiar?

Things like mouth breathing, teeth grinding, snoring, messy or noisy eating, thumb sucking, difficulty swallowing pills, drooling, speech concerns, picky eating, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, sleep breathing disorders, or needing braces more than once can all be indicators of underlying myofunctional dysfunction.

Many people ask us the same question
“Is myofunctional therapy right for me or my child?”

At Myofunctional Spot, we offer comprehensive evaluations where we assess structure, function, airway health, oral habits, and symptoms to develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.

If you are unsure where to start, I created a Self Screener to help you learn more about how your symptoms may relate to orofacial myofunctional disorders.

If you identify 3 or more symptoms, further assessment may be warranted.

Visit

Your mouth is constantly communicating with the rest of your body.

Most people only think about teeth… but the tongue, lips, breathing patterns, and swallow play a massive role in overall health and development.

When these functions are not working the way they are designed to, your mouth may start sending signals.

Here are 5 things your mouth might be trying to tell you:

1️⃣ Your tongue doesn’t have enough space
Signs can include tongue scalloping, teeth crowding, or a tongue that rests low in the mouth.

2️⃣ You may be breathing through your mouth instead of your nose
Chronic mouth breathing can impact sleep quality, facial development, and airway health.

3️⃣ Your swallow pattern may be compensating
Many adults and children develop a swallow that relies on the lips or facial muscles rather than the tongue.

4️⃣ Your lips may not comfortably stay together at rest
Lips should naturally rest closed without effort.

5️⃣ Your airway may be under stress
Snoring, grinding, clenching, headaches, TMJ symptoms, and poor sleep can sometimes trace back to oral function.

The good news is that oral function can be evaluated and improved.

At Myofunctional Spot, we specialize in identifying the underlying functional patterns that affect breathing, swallowing, oral development, sleep, and overall health.

Your mouth might not be whispering… it might be trying to get your attention.

If any of these sound familiar, it may be worth taking a closer look.

At Myofunctional Spot Center for Airway, Tongue Tie, Feeding & Swallowing, therapy often begins by strengthening the small muscles of the mouth that play a critical role in oral function. Lip strength and coordination are essential for proper swallowing, speech development, nasal breathing, and healthy oral rest posture.

Many children develop compensations when these muscles are weak or when oral function is not fully coordinated. What may appear to be a simple activity is actually guided neuromuscular training designed to help the lips, tongue, and jaw work together more efficiently.

Our specialized myofunctional therapy programs focus on improving oral muscle function to support better breathing, clearer speech, more efficient swallowing, and healthy oral development.

Through individualized therapy, we help children build the foundational skills that support long term airway health and optimal oral function.
