Oral myofunctional disorders
When soft tissue of the face, mouth, neck, and jaw aren’t working optimally, dysfunction and compensations can result. This dysfunction can lead to problems like mouth breathing, poor sleep, feeding, chewing, or swallowing issues, speech sound disorders, and ADHD-like behaviors. Some children develop thumb sucking or pacifier habits, or an immature swallow pattern called a tongue thrust. Long term, these can impact physical and mental health: sleep and airway problems, anxiety, depression, heart disease, brain health, cognitive functioning, behavioral health can often be linked to oral myofunctional disorders.
Treatment involves 1:1 in-person oral myofunctional therapy, breathing training, manual therapy, and lots of education and collaboration with an Ohio licensed and certified speech pathologist.
Understand the root cause.
Infant Feeding
Skill development to promote airway growth.

We offer next level support! We look closely at function which can be impacted by baby’s early environment, the birthing process, and anatomical differences like tongue tie. Smart Mouth Therapy can offer extra, targeted support to families on their feeding journeys.
