OUR TREATMENT APPROACH

Myofunctional therapy
Myobrace treatment (including Activities and Myotalea Appliances)
Breathing retraining
Referral to specialists (interdisciplinary care) as needed


Myofunctional Therapy
exercises to retrain and strengthen muscles of the lips, tongue and face to correct improper breathing, posture, swallowing and chewing

Myobrace Treatment
preventive, early orthodontic therapy that addresses the underlying cause of crooked teeth and poor jaw development
uses a series of removable intraoral appliances combined with daily exercises for habit elimination, arch development and dental alignment

Breathing Retraining - we use the Buteyko Method
structured therapy to correct dysfunctional breathing, like mouth breathing, hyperventilation (over-breathing) and restore natural, optimal breathing (nasal, slow, engaging the diaphragm)

Referrals to specialists - interdisciplinary care (if indicated)
ENT for surgery (removal of tonsils, adenoids); other treatments as recommended
Pedodontist/dentist for tongue-tie surgery and hygiene, caries, treatment
Sleep physician for sleep study
Allergist for consultation and treatment if necessary
Orhodontists for consultation before we begin our early orthodontic treatment using Myobrace appliances
