MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY

Myofunctional therapy is a unique, exercise-based treatment focusing on training the muscles involved in breathing, speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Offering relief from Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs), the therapy promotes healthy habits such as nasal breathing, sealed lips, proper tongue resting, and correct swallowing. This safe and non-surgical solution not only aids in treating symptoms of sleep disorders but also plays a significant role in sustaining the results of orthodontic treatments.

MOUTH BREATHING

Mouth breathing is a condition resulting from various factors such as food sensitivities, allergies, enlarged adenoids, and more, which can lead to a host of symptoms affecting various parts of the body. From underdeveloped jaws and misaligned teeth to sleep issues and delayed speech development in children, the impacts are wide-ranging. Through our comprehensive care, we work towards identifying and addressing the root causes, offering strategies to correct mouth breathing to effectively improve overall health and well-being.

HABIT ELIMINATION

Understanding the struggle many children have with thumb and finger sucking, we offer a supportive path to a healthier future. By utilizing an effective program of positive reinforcement, we can help children say goodbye to these difficult oral habits. This approach can show results swiftly, often within 1-3 days for children from the age of four. While the entire therapy period spans a few weeks, it is designed to empower and inspire, carving the way toward better oral health and the confident smiles of tomorrow.

TONGUE TIES

Tongue ties, where the tongue is tethered restrictively to the mouth floor, are expertly diagnosed and treated at Hildebrand Estivo Dental. Our trained myofunctional therapists utilize techniques like pre-frenectomy stretches and functional frenectomies using lasers to safely and effectively release the tongue. Post-treatment exercises and therapies are provided to prevent reattachment, ensuring restored and optimal oral functionality for an easier, worry-free recovery experience.
