About Tongue Thrust & Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy addresses disorders of the muscles and functions of the face and mouth. Tongue thrust — where the tongue pushes forward against or between the teeth during swallowing, speaking, or at rest — is the most common myofunctional disorder in children. Left untreated, it can affect dental alignment, speech clarity, and swallowing efficiency.
What to Expect
Orofacial Assessment
We evaluate tongue resting posture, swallowing pattern, lip seal, breathing, and any related speech sound errors.
Exercise Program Design
We create a progressive exercise program tailored to your child's specific myofunctional needs and developmental level.
Weekly Sessions
Sessions focus on tongue, lip, and jaw exercises that build new muscle memory, along with speech sound practice if needed.
Daily Home Practice
Consistent daily exercises (5-10 minutes) between sessions are essential for retraining muscle patterns. We make the exercises fun and age-appropriate.
