Mouth breathing can lead to orthodontics, malformed palettes
and sleep apnea. Discover what myofunctional therapy is and how proper tongue
placement and breathing can counteract it. Sarah Hornsby discusses business and
myomentor to help others succeed.
As a dental hygienist she realized she could not do this for
30 years and while exploring myofunctional Therapy she was a little concerned
that nobody she knew, knew what it was. It wasn’t until she was enrolled in the
class and noticed she had a lot of the signs and symptoms did she realize the
power of this unique oral therapy.
Goals of Myofunctional Therapist
Breathe through your noseHave a Good Lip SealTongue needs to fill up the roof of your mouthSwallow Correctly
How do these 4 goals get so convoluted and how can something
so natural be missing in so many people and create other issues?
What are some reasons why we might quit nose breathing and
backup to mouth breathing? Allergies, asthma, enlarged tonsils and adenoids,
thumb sucking and tongue ties can all create mouth breathing.
Mouth breathing in kids can actually change the shape of
your jaw and face, cause airway obstructions that can lead to sleep apnea as
adults and usually will have more dental health issues including the need for
braces and TMJ pain.
Hornsby of faceology will cover questions you can ask during
the patients health history to see if some of those 4 goals (like mouth
breathing) could be occurring presently or in the past.
She touches on ways sleep apnea can develop from facial
structures not growing and spreading as wide as they should, not having enough
room in your mouth for proper tongue placement and all this leads to a smaller
airway.
What facial characteristics are common and more easily
noticeable on people who have had myo-facial compromises and probably don’t
even know it? What is the actual cause
of an under bite?
Why do babies suck a thumb? Should they use a pacifier?
Benefits of mouth and airway development for breast-fed babies.
How much of all these tongue ties that can be treated with
myofunctional therapy are a result of epigenetics?
Anterior tongue ties and posterior tongue ties, what are the
differences and which is harder to treat with myofunctional therapy? If you
have a tongue tie then your tongue doesn’t fill your palette like it’s supposed
to and can lead to all the issues we mentioned earlier.
Can myofunctional therapy and preventing or being proactive
against mouth breathing (especially at night) allow your children to not have
braces, orthodontics?
