The Muscle Patterns Behind Your Child's Sleep, Breathing, & Jaw Development
Episode 59
Wednesday, 10 December, 2025
In a recent episode, we talked with Dr. Mary Bourke about why chewing matters so much for children’s development. In our latest episode, we hear from someone who works with such issues clinically: myofunctional therapist Tiffany Washburn. A chiropractor, as well as a “myo” therapist, Tiffany brings a unique perspective to how mouth and face muscle patterns can affect everything from sleep to breathing to jaw growth - even to behavior. She explains why tools like the Myo Munchee work so well. She also shares what parents and practitioners should understand about the underlying muscle coordination that can make such a big difference. Tiffany also offers clear guidance on recognizing early signs of dysfunction, from persistent dribbling and open-mouth posture to gagging on age-appropriate foods and difficulty managing solid textures.Dr. Taylor shares her own experience with her three-year-old daughter, including how just two weeks of consistent work eliminated ear pain that doctors couldn't explain and resolved a persistent thumb-sucking habit. The discussion explores how early orofacial muscle patterns take root and how addressing them early can prevent a cascade of issues that often don’t fully appear until later childhood or even adulthood.Listen, and you’ll get practice guidance across the developmental spectrum. Expectant mothers will learn ways to support optimal oral motor development from the start. Parents of young children will learn the milestones to watch for and when to seek support. Practitioners will gain insight into why understanding muscle function is essential for truly preventive care. Get the foundational patterns right, and you can change a child's entire trajectory.For More Info about…Myo Munchee: https://myomunchee.comTiffany Washburn’s practice: https://www.myospir.com Green City Dental: https://greencitydental.comO2dontics: https://o2dontics.com
