Mini Myo/Habit Breaking
(Ages 4-6)

An open mouth in children is often a sign that they are struggling with an airway concern. If your child has had their tonsils removed, is a loud and messy eater, restless sleeper or is snoring and grinding teeth at night, they would benefit from early myofunctional intervention.

​

Oral habits such as thumbsucking, pacifier use, and nail biting, can train our tongue to sit low in our mouths and affect the shape of a growing jaw.

​

Signs your child may have a myofunctional disorder include:

• messy/loud eating                           

• trouble focusing/behaviour concerns

• snoring/sleep apnea                         

• ADD/ADHD

• bed wetting                                           

• picky eating/texture issues

• open mouth at rest                         

• tongue tie noted or treated at birth

• speech concerns                              

• frequently tired

• digestive issues/gassy/reflux

• restless sleep/night wakings
