Back To Your Roots Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy - OMT

A parent came in to see us regarding some concerns about their child’s jaw development.

But what stood out immediately during our assessment wasn’t just the teeth and arch development—it was the way they were breathing and sleep.
Things we look for:
• restless / fragmented sleep
• arms / legs flailing
• signs of ADHD
• erratic mood swings
• teeth grinding at night
• mouth breathing at rest

When these patterns appear together, it often points to a functional issue beyond just alignment.

After addressing the underlying habits and dysfunctions, families will often notice changes in their child’s sleep quality, daily behaviour, jaw growth, postural alignment and often a growth spurt.

As we wrap up the month, let’s take a moment to check in 👇

Are we noticing:
✔️ More nasal breathing?
✔️ Less open mouth posture?
✔️ Better awareness of where the tongue is resting?
✔️ Slower, more intentional chewing at mealtimes, with lips closed?

Progress doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be consistent.

What’s one habit your family focused on this month?

How your child starts their day matters more than you think 🌿

Try this simple morning reset:
👃 Encourage nasal breathing
💧 Offer water before anything else
👅 Quick tongue awareness (where is it resting?)
🍎 Eat foods that require chewing

Small habits → big impact over time

Consistency always beats perfection.
