Michelle Althen- Orofacial myofunctional therapist

After spending 37 years as a Dental Hygienist, specializing in pediatrics, Michelle now brings decades of experience recognizing oral habits, breathing patterns and functional issues that affect children's dental health. Over the years, I have seen many children struggle with orofacial myofunctional disorders such as lip and tongue ties, tongue thrusts, speech, breathing and sleep issues, along with many continued childhood habits. I am passionate about helping young children and adults grow, develop, breathe, sleep  and function optimally. I have extensive training in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, studying oral habits and nasal breathing techniques. I am committed to helping others live their best life by replacing old  habits with healthier ones!
