25.01.2022 Simple early treatment - preventing long term extensive orthodontics. Thumb, finger, and dummy sucking has a massive impact on the development of the mouth and face. If your child has one of these habits I offer a program to assist with helping them stop.

24.01.2022 "Crooked Teeth", can be caused by certain conditions - it is important an early assessment is made to help recognise if there are issues or preventive factors that can be put in place to provide the best overall heath plan for your child. Myology advice and treatment can lead the way for correct development of the face, teeth and health.

24.01.2022 It's so important to know what is healthy and not.... long term effects of mouth breathing are not good. Thanks to all the Heath professionals out there who have the patients needs first.

23.01.2022 Interesting read explaining and demonstrating a tongue thrust.

22.01.2022 For a long time we've been telling adults that snore that it is not impacting on their health unless they have apnoeas (stop breathing). New research is suggest...ing we may need to revise our thoughts on snoring and it's health impact in adults- we already know that kids are not supposed to snore.... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/27207142/ See more

21.01.2022 Another great read, very important to address the core problem when treating orthodontic patients. Long term gains and overall health benefits.

21.01.2022 Can you rest assured? Are you sure? What about your kids? Acting out? You can say you heard or about the airway/behavior link here first. https://consumer.healthday.com//sleep-apnea-in-young-child

19.01.2022 Dr Barry Raphael emphasises the importance of addressing the reasons why we are getting sick, rather than just treating the symptoms of the illness.

18.01.2022 What is Orofacial Myology? When the muscles of the face and neck may not be working in the way that they should - it can effect facial growth and development, teeth alignment and the over all health of a person. As part of an Orofacial Myology Assessment it is very important that the cause of the problem is identified and treated rather than just treating the symptoms. Therefore correct information and diagnosis can provide treatment options tailored to peoples indervidual ne...eds. After all assessmnents have been made specialist treatment may be advised -> this may be because muscle patterns are altered due to airway issues. We work closley with ENT's (Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists) to offer expert advice on airway health. Other specialties we work with include Speech pathologist, chiropractors and physiotherapists, phycologists. After airway and any other interfering conditions are treated Orofacial Myology Therapy can bring balance and correct function to the tongue, face and follow on muscles of the body. In approximatly 8 lesson plans 2-3 weeks apart we provide a exercise based program based on your muscle requirement and presenting condition. Possible Therapy Indications include. Poor posture - including forward head posture. Tongue thrust - Where the tongue has a forward tongue postition on rest and swallow. Anterior Open Bite. Finger/Thumb sucking. Incompetent Lip Seal/Open mouth posture. Gingivitis -> airway related. Dry Lips Orthodontic relapse. Crooked teeth. Goals and Benifits of treatment. Establish nasal breathing, with lip seal at rest. Proper tongue rest position. Correct tongue swallow establishment. Eliminate finger/thumb sucking habit. Over all health benifits. If you have any of these symptoms or conditions and would like further information please call us at Claremont dental on 93299437.

18.01.2022 Oral function is an important part of facial and muscle development! Some helpful and fun ideas to try.

17.01.2022 https://www.facebook.com/InternationalAssociationofOrofacialMyology/posts/1122622617780911 The cause of open bites as in the pict can be a result of tongue thrust, it is important to fix the tongue thrust if working with orthodontics to maintain teeth position after braces. Relapse can and will most likely occur if the tongue position is not addressed.

14.01.2022 Another reason to be educated in signs and symptoms of bruxism. Careful treatment planning often needs the help of different specialties.

14.01.2022 I am not against bottle feeding, I think as mums we do the best we can can and make the best decisions that best suit our families. I am however pro breast feeding and understand the benefits of it.....

14.01.2022 Your tongue position at rest affects your muscles and bone alignment throughout your body. Your tongue position supports and guides your jaw and cranium. When t...he tongue is positioned incorrectly we develop dysfunctions in our breathing, our head and body posture, speech, sleep, chewing, swallowing, teeth alignment and much more. @myocorrect @raiodental #myofunctionaltherapy #myofunctionaltherapist #myofunctionaldisorders #orofacial #orofacialmyofunctionaltherapy #orofacialmyology #health #sleep #sleepbetter #healhieryou #sleepbetterlivebetter #tongueposture #goodposture #dnaappliance #vivos See more

14.01.2022 Definitely food for thought when discussing Orthodontics or teeth extractions. It is always a good idea to ask questions and seek answers. There is a lot of arguments for and against airway related problems and extraction orthodontics....

13.01.2022 Thumb sucking and the effects on the teeth which can be a cause of tongue thrusting.

12.01.2022 It's all in the tongue and myo therapy!!

12.01.2022 How a blocked nose can lead to a broken heart we are not designed to mouth breath , thanks David McIntosh love this explanation.

10.01.2022 Mouth breathing is not ok!

09.01.2022 Grinding teeth can be a sign of something other than stress....

09.01.2022 Some tongue ties are obvious and some not so obvious, the more recognisable ones look like this. The posterior tongue tie is not so recognisable and it is always good to get an opinion if you are concerned.

09.01.2022 I have been reading this book and think for all mums weaning their child from milk to solids it's a great read! We need chewing for healthy jaw development and foods babies can hold are great too! Let's get babies exploring food and teach them by taking lead at meal times for them to watch, copy and learn!

08.01.2022 OSA is often a structual issue combined with other factors. Here is some great information for a self check!

08.01.2022 I have been getting a lot of TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorders) questions lately and management is often a short fix solution. Finding what could be an underlying cause can provide long term solutions. There are many reasons as to why the TMJ area may cause issues and correct diagnosis and treatment planning is important. This week I will focus on TMJD info.

05.01.2022 Negative effects of mouth breathing in a simple short video. Healthy breathing patterns need to be established and maintained.

03.01.2022 Obstructive sleep disorder is often associated with snoring, it is important to recognise noisy breathing of any kind... Orofacial myology supports the work of ent's and works with the muscles of the face and neck.

01.01.2022 So this week I have decided to post things related to our precious children. As a mum my own children have suffered some of these issues and I find oral health and development information not always easily assessable in a language for parents to understand. Issues such as dummies, finger/thumb sucking, tongue tie etc will be posted!
