SLEEP-DISORDERED BREATHING
Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) and related symptoms like mouth breathing can be caused by upper airway obstructions. Airway obstructions can be related to enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids, allergies and tethered oral tissues (like a tongue tie) and these can all have impacts on how people sleep.
An Orofacial Myofunctional Assessment can help to rule out Sleep-Disordered Breathing difficulties. For more information, contact me at the email address or phone number below.
