Tongue issues can start as soon as infancy and impact a baby’s ability to suction, swallow and breathe. Some of these initial habits, if not caught early, transition to adulthood and are typically treated with invasive methods.
The posture and resting position of a tongue matters, and can affect the entire body in small or big ways, even if there are no apparent signs right away.
For individuals with tongue issues, healthier breathing, eating, sleeping and living are again possible using a simple, natural and effective solution known as myofunctional therapy. Myofunctional therapy focuses on retraining the tongue using minimally invasive exercises to strengthen the mouth, tongue, neck and more.
In other circumstances, a surgical release of the tongue might be medically necessary, through a frenectomy or frenuloplasty, in order for myofunctional therapy to be successful and drive long-term results.
It is possible to conquer tongue issues, improve posture and transform poor oral habits and facial function in a natural and healthy way.
