Muscle Tension

My child's jaw or face seems tight, and it seems to be affecting how they eat or talk.

Tightness in the muscles of the face, jaw, or mouth can affect feeding, speech, and everyday comfort. Myofunctional therapy and laser therapy work together to relax overactive muscles and retrain healthier patterns of movement over time.
