Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a safe, non-invasive program that helps kids and teens improve the way they breathe, chew, swallow, and speak by retraining the tongue and facial muscles. Many children struggle with habits like mouth breathing, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or speech difficulties. Left unaddressed, these can affect dental alignment, jaw growth, sleep quality, and overall health.
At Giggles & Grins, we take an airway-focused approach. That means we don’t just look at teeth — we look at how your child breathes, sleeps, and grows. Through gentle exercises, games, and guided activities, our trained team helps children strengthen their oral and facial muscles, making breathing through the nose easier and more natural. OMT also plays a big role in preventing relapse after orthodontic treatment, ensuring long-lasting results.
With fun, engaging sessions, kids and teens learn to correct harmful oral habits while building healthier lifelong patterns. This isn’t just therapy for the mouth — it’s therapy for better growth, development, and confidence.

My daughter had shark teeth and the jaws were very narrow. With simple exercises and appliances we corrected this issue without any braces. Thanks to Giggles & Grins team, my daughter has beautiful teeth now and wouldn't need any expensive aligners or braces!!
Mother of Rosaline Sweety
We took OMT sessions from Giggles & Grins for my son's mouth breathing issues. He was also having adenoid problems. With timely and effective exercise process and jaw expansions, we could conservatively manage his adenoid issues. We are very much indebted to Giggles & Grins!!

We highly recommend giggles & Grins, They emphasize on airway health and jaw growth which many dentists are not well aware of. They also follow myofunctional therapy which is very simple and doable for kids.

Myofunctional Therapy can benefit a wide range of children and teens, especially those showing signs of poor oral function or airway issues. If your child snores, grinds teeth, breathes through their mouth, struggles with proper swallowing, or has speech difficulties, they may be an ideal candidate. Children with persistent habits such as thumb sucking or extended pacifier use can also benefit, as OMT helps retrain the muscles and break the cycle.
Other signs that indicate a need for therapy include crowded teeth, forward head posture, dark circles under the eyes, restless sleep, or frequent open-mouth posture. These symptoms often point to an underlying issue with oral muscle coordination and airway function.
Even kids who have had braces may need OMT to prevent relapse — because unless the muscle patterns are corrected, teeth tend to move back to their old positions. In short, if you’ve noticed your child struggling with breathing, sleep, oral habits, or alignment, OMT could be the key to supporting healthier growth and development.
At Giggles & Grins, we believe that every child deserves dental care that is gentle, respectful and rooted in understanding their overall growth—not just their teeth.
We are a pediatric dental practice dedicated exclusively to caring for babies, children and teens from 0 to 18 years, with a strong focus on comfort, prevention and long-term wellbeing.
Empower your child with a confident smile that starts with optimal breathing, jaw growth, and oral function.

My son had residual mouth breathing even after his adenoid tonsil surgery, Though his sleep improved a lot after the surgery, we could see he was going down the same cycle of events. That is when we realized how important myofunctional therapy is. We took therapy sessions with giggles & grins and the results were so rewarding. Thank you so much!!
