This photo is not our case, and not our content but I absolutely love seeing more of these examples circulate in our field.

Functional change is finally being recognized and discussed, not just structural intervention or use of passive appliances.

When airway, oral posture, tongue mobility, nasal breathing, and muscular balance are addressed - the face grows differently. The body adapts. Function guides form. Form follows function.

This is what we see every day in our practice: healthier breathing, improved sleep, better swallowing, clearer speech, and more optimal craniofacial growth patterns (and yes straighter teeth as a result too).

Orthodontists are reaching out more than ever to collaborate with us, because they recognize that teeth don’t exist in isolation.
You can’t force structure where function doesn’t exist.

This is the future of airway-focused care and interdisciplinary treatment.

And I’m here for it. Those who get it, have shifted their entire method of treating their patients. They collaborate with the right socialized and experienced speech pathologists. They are making a difference and achieving long term results with their patients.

Those who don’t get it, simply don’t. Make sure you find a provider who “gets it”.

However finding the right provider is the hardest part. Start with a Myofunctional Evaluation with a Speech Pathologist. That is the first step.

We absolutely loved working with this incredible family! 🩵

We’re so proud of the progress Asher has made and grateful for the trust this amazing family placed in our team - especially with Michelle, who guided every step with such skill and care for many months. 🌟

Asher’s dad is a brilliant, airway-focused orthodontist who truly understands the importance of addressing the root cause - not just the symptoms. His awareness of the importance of addressing tongue posture and oral function with the right Myofunctional Team has made all the difference in his son’s journey.

Myofunctional therapy is very powerful when combined with airway-aware orthodontics - a true partnership between structure and function. Release with Dr. Patel completed his journey beautifully.

Sometimes we work with entire families - because many of the underlying issues that contribute to an individual’s oral function, airway, and muscle patterns tend to strongly run in families and often show up in unique ways at different ages across the lifespan

From infants with feeding challenges, to children with speech, sleep, feeding or jaw growth concerns, and even adults with clenching, headaches, or fatigue - similar underlying patterns can present very differently throughout the lifespan.

At Myofunctional Spot, we love helping families understand the why behind their symptoms and guiding them through functional change together.

🩵 Shoutout to our amazing clinician Michelle, who’s supporting this wonderful family of five through their individual Myofunctional journeys!

✨ Functional Progress Before the Frenectomy! ✨

This incredible young patient has made tremendous gains through Myofunctional Therapy — improving tongue strength, oral posture, and overall function — all before undergoing a tongue-tie release.

At Myofunctional Spot, we collaborate closely with orthodontists, pediatric dentists, and release providers to ensure a truly comprehensive and ethical approach. When done properly, this work is a marriage between structure and function - each one supporting the other for lasting results.

Our goal is never just anatomical correction, but true functional success - helping patients achieve optimal tongue mobility, nasal breathing, and oral rest posture that support long-term airway health and stability.

After 11 sessions, this child is now fully prepared for release, setting the stage for smooth healing and improved post-release outcomes.

💡 Form follows function. When function leads the way, outcomes follow.

Menopause and sleep - it’s time we start talking about it.

So many women experience restless nights, mouth breathing, snoring, or new-onset fatigue during perimenopause and menopause… yet few are ever told why. Too often, women are dismissed or offered quick fixes - like prescription sleep aids - instead of addressing the root causes of disrupted sleep.

Hormonal shifts during Perimenopause and Post Menopause can change airway stability, muscle tone, and breathing patterns - all affecting sleep quality. That’s where Myofunctional Therapy comes in.

By retraining the tongue, lips, and facial muscles for optimal tongue posture and nasal breathing, we can support natural, restorative sleep - no medication, no devices, no side effects.

Better sleep doesn’t just mean feeling rested. It supports hormone balance, metabolism, focus, and emotional well-being.

✨ Because midlife deserves better sleep, too.

Does your child struggle with sleep, focus, or behavior?
What many parents don’t realize is that challenges often labeled as “ADHD,” “behavioral issues,” or even “restless sleep” can actually be signs of underlying airway or myofunctional concerns.

When a child’s oral-facial growth and airway development aren’t optimal, it can affect how they breathe, sleep, and ultimately how they function during the day — often leading to exhaustion, irritability, and attention difficulties.

🩺 Myofunctional therapy supports healthy oral posture, muscle tone, and breathing patterns — helping children sleep better, focus more easily, and thrive.
