Because jaws (with enough space for all teeth) only grow properly, i.e. large, if the function, i.e. the muscle forces around the teeth, are used correctly. Stable results can only be achieved in the long term if these causes of malocclusion are also treated.
This is partly because many speech therapists are overworked and often have a waiting time of 6-12 months for new patients.
Approximately 50-60% of all children breathe through their mouths with significant consequences for their facial and jaw growth. Unfortunately, many parents are not aware of this. These training courses have been developed to raise awareness and provide initial suggestions on how to change this as early as possible through play.
Of course they can if they have specialized in myofunctional therapy and have also completed further training in respiratory therapy. All mykie® therapists are also trained in this area.
Our experience in the mykie®NET practice in Weinheim, the founding practice of mykie® therapy, has been very good. What is the feedback from children and parents?
Of course, because there are of course children for whom one-to-one supervision makes more sense. Parental support is always needed, however, as the exercises should also be carried out daily at home.
In mykie® therapy (treatment of form and function at the same time), we recommend starting online training on lip closure and nasal breathing in parallel with orthodontic shaping. This saves appointments in speech therapy and orthodontics. If the shape is correct, i.e. the jaws fit together and are large enough, the prescribed tongue therapy can begin in speech therapy.
There are actually no disadvantages, except that there is a cost contribution of €5 per film for the elaborate production.
Of course this is possible. However, we recommend that only one therapy is carried out at a time so that the children are not overwhelmed.
We have tried to make the exercises as fun as possible. As parents, try to do all the exercises together with your children and also involve siblings. This way you can achieve added health benefits for the whole family. Many exercises can also be designed as a competition to increase motivation. But not everything is always fun. This is about healthy growth, which, like brushing your teeth, is not always fun but still has to be done.
