Why I Use the Same Oral Appliances I Recommend to Children
As a dentist, an orofacial myologist, and a certified Buteyko breathing instructor, I’ve spent years studying how the muscles of the face and mouth impact a child’s ability to breathe, eat, and grow properly.
At MyoWay Center for Kids, we’re not just focused on teeth—we’re focused on total facial and airway development.
And here's something unique: I'm not just the founder of MyoWay. I'm also a patient.
The Power of Functional Muscle Development
The muscles in your child’s face do much more than create expressions. They help shape the bones of the face, guide proper tongue posture, and influence how your child breathes—especially during sleep.
When these muscles are weak or misused (often due to habits like mouth breathing or thumb sucking), it can lead to:
- Underdeveloped jaws
- Narrow airways
- Snoring or restless sleep
- Speech or feeding issues
At MyoWay, we use targeted appliances to activate and strengthen these vital muscles. These aren’t traditional braces or bulky gear—they’re medical-grade tools designed to encourage natural growth and function.
Why I Use These Appliances Too
As a clinician, I strongly believe in practicing what I preach. That’s why I personally use many of the same myofunctional appliances we give to children.
Why? Because facial muscles need to be exercised just like any other muscles in the body. Consistent use of these tools helps me maintain optimal muscle tone, jaw position, and nasal breathing—something that benefits both children and adults alike.
This approach isn’t just for correcting problems. It’s for optimizing lifelong health.
From Expertise to Empathy: Why It Matters
Parents often ask me, “Do these appliances really work?” And I can honestly say—yes. I’ve experienced the benefits firsthand. That’s why I’m so passionate about offering these solutions to children at an early stage when their growth potential is greatest.
Whether your child is snoring at night, showing signs of ADHD-like symptoms, or struggling with proper tongue posture, early intervention can make a huge difference.
Take the First Step Toward a Healthier Future
At MyoWay, we’re not here to just fix symptoms—we’re here to empower parents with solutions that support their child’s growth, health, and confidence.
Let’s work together to help your child breathe better, sleep better, and thrive.
