Lisps
Speech Sound Disorders
Myofunctional Disorders
Voice Disorders
Speech problems can be related to underlying issues of an orofacial myofunctional disorder.
Why Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy?
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is used to Remediate Tongue Thrust and Myofunctional Disorders
Orofacial Myofunctional Therpay involves oral motor exercises to establish neuromuscular re-patterning of the tongue and facial muscles to achieve proper function for speech, chewing, swallowing and oral rest posture.
Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs)
OMDs develop due to atypical, incorrect patterns of the tongue and facial muscles involved in speech, breathing and swallowing, such as:
Tongue resting on or between teeth
Tongue thrust
Thumb sucking
Nail and cheek biting
Open mouth rest posture
Other disorders related to or contributed by OMDs
Speech sound errors (e.g. lisp)
Misalignment of teeth (malocclusion)
Orthodontic relapse
Abnormal jaw growth
BEFORE
Pre-treatment (no exercises)
AFTER
Post-treatment (no orthodontics)
“Our daughter’s speech cleared up, her teeth straightened out and the exercises even closed her overbite!”
Do you have any concerns about your own or your child’s speech or oral habits? Book your STRATEGY CALL today to find out how to move the needle forward to reach your goal.
OMDs may result due to
Airway obstruction (difficulty breathing due to enlarged tonsils/adenoids, allergies, deviated septum)
Detrimental oral habits such as clenching and grinding of teeth, nail biting, thumb and finger sucking,
Physiological or structural abnormalities such as restricted tongue mobility due to tongue-tie (See Frequently Asked Questions about Tongue-Tie)
Developmental delays
Neurological deficits.

Establish nasal breathing
Establish proper chewing and swallowing patterns
Assist dental stabilization during and/or after orthodontic treatment

Which Success Story Inspires You the Most…

“I had no idea I had a tongue thrust until Christine helped me identify and correct it. With her guidance, I now have better tongue placement, easier swallowing and breathing—and as a performer, that’s been life-changing.

Sanad A.
I made progress far faster than I expected. Christine is also super friendly…
“I wanted to improve specific sounds (rolling/trilling R) and overall voice/pronunciation clarity so people would understand me better. Christine is super easy and fun to work with and she is professional and knowledgeable. The training program she had for me was easy enough to follow and difficult enough to push me and make it challenging. She also included training in both english and Arabic (my native tongue). My voice is so much clearer now. Christine you rock!”

On a 1-5 star rating Christine is a 10!
“My 10 year old son had a lisp and he wanted to correct it because it was something he was self-conscious about. Christine helped him resolve the lisp and he is able to say his Ss clearly now without effort! My son Asher is definitely on the pickier side when it comes to people and he genuinely looked forward to meeting with her every week. Christine is an absolute pleasure to work with and she really puts you at ease from the very first appointment. She has a very calming and reassuring presence. All the while, she’s incredibly professional, punctual, and very communicative about scheduling. We were genuinely sad when he graduated from her office!”

Christine identified the tongue issue immediately. This has been a complete game-changer.
“After spending all of my adult life with TMJ issues and a splint to correct my bite when I slept - I managed to totally miss the fact that I also was thrusting my tongue and resting it in the wrong position. Referred by my TMJ specialist, Christine was able to pinpoint the tongue issue immediately. We worked on proper chewing, swallowing and breathing with various exercises. She also used myofascial release as a way of releasing tension in the jaw and neck, which felt great. Now, after working with Christine, my tongue rest position is pretty close to second nature after being wrong for so long and it has really helped my TMJ issues!”
