The Function-First Model is a two-part approach to diagnosis and treatment of patients with tethered oral tissues, aka TOTS, from birth through adulthood. The first component is a comprehensive team approach to treatment, and the second is a diagnostic component that emphasizes the importance of a functional diagnosis. In our opinion, utilizing this model leads to more accurate diagnoses and more predictable outcomes for all ages.
Speech and language development is a crucial part of communication during early childhood. We’ve chosen to offer speech support in-house to provide convenient collaboration between our team members. We make speech lessons enjoyable with our interactive exercises and friendly, caring environment.
Myofunctional therapy is “physical therapy” for the tongue and mouth muscles. It is needed sometimes to optimize oral function. Having a myofunctional therapist in-house allows us to look at oral function as a whole rather than just focusing on teeth.
Proper feeding during infancy lays the groundwork for proper oral function in the future. In-house board-certified lactation support is available to families with breast and bottle-fed babies. Consultations and follow-ups are performed in a calm and quiet nursing room.
