Myofunctional Therapy

[Chichz]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the best board for this, but I'm wondering if anyone has been through myofunctional therapy with their child?

I'm interested to know if it helped and in what way; do you think it was worth it? Currently awaiting Autism (likely also ADHD) diagnosis but I know that's not a magic bullet for support, especially as DS would likely be seen as 'high functioning'.

He is nearly 6 and my main aim would be to help with mouth-breathing and quality of sleep.

Thanks!

Watching as its something I'm interested in, it just seems very American - a private ENT told me its nonsense, and NHS dentist seemed bemused by it, but i keep coming back to it for my 5 year old who has:

Awful sleep
Slight mouth breathing
Congestion/allergies
Dark circles
Baby teeth all very close together

I'm a mouth breather too so interested also!

It's very hard to know isn't it!

Can I ask if you got anywhere with ENT? I need to ask the GP for a referal at the same time really.
