Elite Myofunctional Therapy

Elite Myofunctional Therapy Helping kids, teens, and adults breathe better, sleep deeper, and live healthier through personalized myofunctional therapy.

We specialize in TMJ/TMD, tongue ties, and airway health for all ages. Natural solutions for lasting wellness Hi, I’m Bernalea Liesse, a dental hygienist with 21 years of experience and the founder of Elite Myofunctional Therapy. After discovering that my own family—and even I—had been living with undiagnosed orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), everything changed. From TMJ pain and sleep issues to tongue ties and narrow palates, we faced it all. Our journey opened my eyes and fueled my passion to help others find answers sooner. No one should have to suffer in silence or wait years for relief. Now, I dedicate my work to guiding families and individuals toward better breathing, improved sleep, and lasting wellness—naturally.

Your airway + tongue posture affect ALL of it.

Recharge your airway, reset your habits.

Your body never takes a holiday.”
If you’ve noticed jaw tension or poor sleep after the holidays — that’s your body asking for balance.

Forget Black Friday chaos — invest in your health.”
New shoes won’t fix your fatigue.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Grateful for all of you who are learning to breathe, rest, and live better.
This year, let’s give thanks for the simple things — air, rest, and our amazing bodies that can heal when we let them. 💛

1-minute bedtime ritual 🌙
Inhale 4 counts → hum on exhale 4 counts → repeat 5x.

Fun Fact: Your tongue takes up nearly 50% of your oral cavity.”

That’s why its position changes EVERYTHING — teeth, airway, posture, sleep.

👅 Respect the tongue — it’s more powerful than you think.

This month, I’m thankful for every client who chose to heal instead of cope.

👏 You’ve shown what’s possible when you retrain your body instead of masking symptoms.

Your dentist can’t fix a muscle problem.

You can fill cavities and align teeth — but unless you retrain your tongue, jaw, and breathing, issues return.

🩵 Myofunctional therapy = the missing link between dentistry and total wellness.

Wake up less groggy with this 1-minute habit:

Before bed:
1️⃣ Breathe in 4 counts
2️⃣ Exhale with a hum
3️⃣ Repeat 5x

This activates your vagus nerve and calms the nervous system.
Better sleep = better mornings. 🌙

👉 Say ‘N’ and freeze — that’s where your tongue should rest ALL the time!

Practice that while you cook! 👅🍗

Sleep apnea is an airway symptom, not the problem.

Machines (CPAPs) help, but unless you retrain your tongue, lips, and breathing — the root cause remains.
Myofunctional therapy is airway rehab.
