Myofunctional & Speech
Myofunctional & Speech
We improve clarity, comfort, and confidence by treating the oral structures and habits that affect speech and jaw function. Our approach includes:
- Evaluation and treatment of tongue ties, tongue thrust, and unclear speech
- Exercises to strengthen oral muscles and improve coordination
- Therapy to reduce jaw tension, support TMJ relief, and maintain orthodontic stability
- Manual therapy and red light therapy to reduce tension and support healing
Speech Therapy for Clarity
We target sound production, articulation, and overall communication so speech is clear and confident. Therapy is adapted to each age and builds lasting speaking skills.
Ideal for: speech delays, articulation issues, lisps, unclear speech
Myofunctional Therapy
We strengthen and retrain the muscles of the tongue, lips, and jaw to improve how the mouth works day to day. This supports clearer speech, healthier breathing, and better posture.
Ideal for: tongue thrust, mouth breathing, low tongue posture, oral weakness
TMJ & Orthodontic Support
We help reduce jaw tension and pain while supporting orthodontic stability. Therapy can make braces or aligners more effective and prevent relapse after treatment.
Ideal for: TMJ discomfort, clenching or grinding, orthodontic relapse prevention, jaw fatigue
Pre/Post Frenectomy Therapy
Support for tongue, lip, and cheek ties. Assess how oral restrictions impact oral function and provide gentle, effective therapy before and after to improve function and comfort.
Ideal for: feeding impairments, speech disorders, tongue/lip/cheek ties
Frequently Asked Questions
A speech delay means a child is developing speech skills later than expected, while an articulation disorder involves difficulty producing certain sounds correctly. Our evaluation helps clarify what’s happening and guides treatment.
Weak or unbalanced oral muscles can affect bite, jaw position, and tooth stability. Oral function therapy supports orthodontic success by improving tongue posture, reducing habits like tongue thrust, and preventing relapse after braces.
Yes. Targeted exercises can reduce tension, improve muscle balance, and ease discomfort from clenching or grinding. Many patients also notice improved posture and less fatigue.
