Airway health matters!

Myofunctional therapy — exercises that improve tongue posture, nasal breathing, and airway strength — can reduce AHI by 50–60%.

Yet most patients and even many clinicians have never heard of it.

Why are people still missing out on a highly effective, non-surgical option?

✅ Early intervention
✅ Better sleep
✅ Reduced long-term health risks

Airway health matters — and sometimes the solution is in training how you breathe

Man, the tongue can do so many things - when it's used for good, it's powerful. When its not....not so much.

Do you or someone you know have a possible restricted labial frenum?

What is an Upper Lip Tie?

The labial frenum is the small piece of connective tissue that joins the upper lip to the gum. When it’s restrictive, it can be classified as an Upper Lip Tie, which may interfere with oral function.

We look at 3 key things when evaluating restriction:

1. Attachment Site:
• Mucosal
• Gingival
• Papillary
• Papillary penetrating (as shown in the image)

2. Tension:
Is there tightness or pull in the frenum?

3. Symptoms:
• Difficulty brushing front teeth
• Poor lip seal (oral incompetence)
• Diastema (gap between front teeth)

A restrictive lip tie may need attention — especially when it contributes to functional issues like feeding, breathing, or hygiene challenges.

I have been meaning to brag about this kid for awhile. Wow, he worked so hard on therapy. Look at these results!! This is just working hard on tongue placement and breathing through his nose.
I love the before and after pictures. Shows us the hard work paid off.

This young lady was so much fun to work with. She worked hard on therapy and I am so proud of the strides she took while working together.
