Sleep Disorders
Studies have also shown that these disorders can cause an increase in the development of the sleep breathing disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for some individuals. This is because OMDs can cause the tongue, throat and facial muscles to block the airway, cutting off oxygen flow during sleep and leading to an increased risk of chronic and potentially deadly illness.
Tongue Tie
The impact of tongue ties on our facial development can be significant, affecting the growth of the mouth, arrangement of teeth, smile, and joints. Severe cases can cause immediate difficulties with breastfeeding and sleep and long-term issues with breathing and speech.
TMJ/Jaw Pain
Many people, both adults and children, experience TMJ pain which is a common issue. The Temporomandibular Joint connects the lower jawbone to the skull, and conditions that cause discomfort and pain in this area are known as Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD).
What are Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders?
If left untreated, OMDs can lead to significant consequences, including problems with facial and skeletal growth, bite alignment issues, stress on the jaw joints, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), and an imbalanced facial appearance. Additionally, OMDs can also interfere with your oral hygiene and destabilize past or future orthodontic treatments. It’s crucial to be aware of and address OMDs to prevent these potential complications.

A resting tongue that sits low in the mouth can lead to improper jaw development and breathing issues.

Excessive drooling, especially in older children and adults, can be a sign of poor muscle control or coordination.

Issues with Speech and Articulation
Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds or a lisp may be linked to tongue or lip muscle dysfunction.
Droopy Eyelid/Dark Circles
Facial fatigue, which can present as droopy eyelids or dark circles, might be connected to improper breathing patterns.

This habit may indicate underlying stress or oral muscle imbalance, potentially leading to other dental issues.

While they may appear insignificant, these indications can lead to numerous severe issues, particularly in young kids. Neglecting them can result in various concerns such as TMD, periodontal disease, tooth loss, breathing complications, and even sleep and behavior disorders. Furthermore, individuals with untreated OMDs may encounter digestive problems, as incorrect swallowing habits can cause gastrointestinal issues and affect eating habits negatively.

Testimonials
What Our Clients are Saying
Myofunctional therapy has been key in helping my four year old gain tongue and lip mobility, improve his posture, sleep more soundly through the night, and begin to overcome some of his picky eating tendencies. Amanda Zubricki has been amazing for our family, always responding quickly to our questions and concerns, and keeping our son happy and focused during appointments. We would recommend Amanda and The Myo Project to anyone considering myofunctional therapy!
