If any of these issues concern you, your child may benefit from Myofunctional Therapy:
- Can you see your child’s tongue push forward while swallowing? Is your child a messy eater?
- Do you see your child’s tongue stick out between the front teeth at rest? Are their lips apart and jaw hinged open while watching T.V. or reading a book?
- Does your child’s tongue seemed ‘tied’ to the floor of the mouth?
- Does your child breathe through their mouth?
- Does your child snore at night? Sleeps in odd positions?
- Does you child become “wired then tired” throughout the day despite sleeping all night?
- Does your child wet the bed?
- Does your child have a forward head posture with rounded shoulders (slouches)?
- Is your child always putting things in their mouth such as fingers, pens, clothing etc.
