Myofunctional Therapy of WNC
I am Lesia Corn, a Registered Dental Hygienist 24 years of experience. I've always cared deeply for my patients, but I often encountered issues that left me puzzled about their origins. Now, as a Myofunctional Therapist, I can identify these disorders and create tailored therapy plans, connecting you with the appropriate specialists for tongue ties, TMDs, snoring, clenching, and oral habits.
I specialize in eliminating habits related to the face, lips, and tongue to enhance your quality of life. After searching airway-centric dental professionals for my own family, I discovered that while many therapies address the symptoms of poor airway health, few target the root cause. Myofunctional Therapy can significantly improve conditions like mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea—by 50% in adults and 62% in children. I'm here to assist you with issues that lead to improper swallowing, mouth breathing, and poor sleep,  and helping you achieve optimal function for a healthier and happier life.

Did you know that the tongue should rest against the palate? Mouth breathing and tongue ties can cause the tongue to stay on the floor of the mouth. Without the support of the tongue positioned within the palate, the cheek muscles dominate and resulting in a high, narrow palate. This can also contribute to crowded teeth and reduced airway space, which is related to obstructive sleep apnea.
Tongue and lip ties can be hereditary, and it's not unusual for children to show similar issues as their parents.
If you're an adult facing these challenges or if you have a child you want to help avoid these struggles, please reach out for a consultation.
