Orofacial Myology

Orofacial Myology (Myofunctional Therapy) involves exercises to retrain the muscles of the face, tongue, and mouth. This therapy aims to correct dysfunctional oral habits and improve functions such as breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speaking.

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED:

• Mouth Breathing | Tongue Thrust | Speech Articulation Issues | Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders | Orthodontic Relapse

BENEFITS:

• Improves Oral Resting Posture: Proper tongue and lip posture positively impact oral health and facial structure, reducing strain on teeth and surrounding muscles.
• Stabilizes Teeth/Occlusion: Critical for orthodontic treatment success and jaw surgery recovery, ensuring long-term results.
• Addresses Sleep-disordered Breathing: Helps reduce snoring and improves outcomes for mild obstructive sleep apnea.

Infant Care

Early intervention services tailored for infants focus on proper jaw development and resolving oral restrictions to ensure optimal growth and function.

PROBLEMS & SYMPTOMS ADDRESSED:

• Breastfeeding Difficulties | Poor Weight Gain | Colic & Reflux Symptoms | Early Dental Issues

METHOD:

• BabyLase Therapy: A non-surgical laser therapy that helps remind the nervous system of what it is meant to do, gives energy directly to cells, softens oral tissues, an integral companion to our desire for improving feeding and promoting wellness without surgery.

Tethered Oral Tissue Releases

Procedures aimed at releasing tight or restrictive soft tissues in the mouth, such as tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie, to enhance tongue mobility and oral function.

PROBLEMS & SYMPTOMS ADDRESSED:

• Speech Difficulties | Feeding Challenges In Infants & Children | Dental Malocclusions | Mouth Breathing | Body Tensions

BENEFITS:

• Improves Mobility: Frees tongue and lip movements for better feeding, speech, and oral hygiene.
• Prevents Dental Issues: Improves Jaw shape and form, Reduces gum recession and improves tooth alignment by correcting oral mechanics.

Microbiome

Maintaining a balanced oral microbiome is essential for optimal health, as the mouth serves as a gateway to the entire body. Disruptions in the oral microbiome can lead to various dental and systemic health issues.

PROBLEMS & SYMPTOMS ADDRESSED:

• Gum Disease | Bad Breath (Halitosis) | Tooth Decay | Systemic Inflammation

BENEFITS:

• Manages Oral Infections: By identifying and addressing pathogenic bacteria, it's possible to prevent and treat infections that could otherwise lead to periodontal disease and other complications.
• Supports Systemic Health: A healthy oral microbiome reduces the risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream, thereby decreasing the likelihood of systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
• Brain-gut Connection: Research shows that the health of our microbiome has a feedback loop with healthy brain function and mental state.

Light & Laser Therapy

Advanced light and laser therapies, including BabyLase and Oralase, utilize specific wavelengths of light to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue function. These non-invasive treatments are integral to modern integrative dentistry.

PROBLEMS & SYMPTOMS ADDRESSED:

• Oral Mucositis | Tethered Oral Tissues (e.g., Tongue-Tie) | Post-Surgical Recovery | Chronic Oral Pain

BENEFITS:

• Promotes Tissue Healing: Light therapy accelerates cellular repair processes, aiding in faster recovery from dental procedures and reducing postoperative discomfort.
• Reduces Inflammation:By modulating inflammatory responses, light therapy helps alleviate pain and swelling associated with various oral conditions.
• Enhances Oral Function: Therapies like BabyLase improve oral and facial muscle functionality, which is particularly beneficial for infants facing challenges with nursing due to oral restrictions

Cranio-Osteopathic Guided Growth

This approach gently guides the growth and alignment of facial and jaw structures for balanced health, benefiting both children and adults.

PROBLEMS & SYMPTOMS ADDRESSED:

• Jaw Misalignment | Facial Asymmetry | Breathing Issues

BENEFITS:

• Supports Alignment: Helps the teeth and jaw grow favourably, avoiding the potential for braces or even jaw surgery later on.
• Prevents Big Problems Early:Stops issues like crooked teeth, jaw pain (TMJ disorders), and breathing problems before they start by encouraging proper growth from the beginning.

Integrative Oral Medicine

A personalized dental health approach integrating advanced science, preventive care, and total body wellness to enhance overall health while minimizing unnecessary procedures.

PROBLEMS & SYMPTOMS ADDRESSED:

• Gum Disease | Cavities and Biocorrosion | Sleep and Airway Issues | Bite Disorders | Oral Cancer

BENEFITS:

• Comprehensive and Personalized Care: Offers tailored treatment plans based on your individual risk for disease, ensuring you receive everything you need and nothing you don't.
• Prevention-Focused Dentistry:Uses advanced diagnostic tools, such as salivary diagnostics, to identify risks for gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues before they become significant problems.
• Total Body Wellness:Collaborates with your medical team to address how oral conditions may impact systemic health, such as heart disease, diabetes, and sleep apnea.

Cancer Care

Specialized support for patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancers, focusing on improving airway health and quality of life.

PROBLEMS & SYMPTOMS ADDRESSED:

• Oral Mucositis | Edema Swelling Surrounding/Above Surgical Sites Of Head & Neck | Dry mouth (xerostomia) | Difficulty Swallowing (dysphagia) | Altered Taste Sensation

BENEFITS:

• Enhances Comfort: Addresses mucositis, and swallowing difficulties associated with cancer therapy. May even help with dry mouth.
• Improves Outcomes:Ensures better tolerance of treatments and faster recovery.
