Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders and Specialized Care

At Mondeling Logopedie, orofacial myofunctional disorders are central. Abnormal swallowing, chewing, mouth breathing, and the use of a pacifier or thumb sucking are examples of habits that can disrupt the balance in the mouth. These habits not only affect the alignment of the teeth but can also negatively impact speech, hearing, and overall health.

We specialize in treating these orofacial myofunctional disorders. With targeted exercises, practical tips, and expert advice, we help to restore the balance of the oral muscles. This exercise therapy is called orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMFT). Each treatment is tailored to your specific situation and needs.

Specialization in Tongue-Tie Issues

In addition to orofacial myofunctional disorders, Mondeling Logopedie also specializes in care for tongue-tie (ankyloglossia). A tongue-tie can lead to problems with swallowing, speaking, and the functioning of the oral muscles in both children and adults. At Mondeling Logopedie, patients are guided both before and after a tongue-tie correction.

Proper care around this procedure is essential for recovery and optimal results. After a tongue-tie correction, it is important that the oral muscles are retrained to prevent incorrect compensatory habits. We collaborate with specialized clinics that perform this procedure. This collaboration ensures a holistic approach where care seamlessly integrates.
