This brochure explores the impact of poor tongue posture and function due to ankyloglossia, or TONGUE TIE. The tongue plays an incredibly important role in jaw and airway development, and a tethered tongue can inhibit good growth, development and function, yet is often gets overlooked. This brochure explains the importance of a functional assessment for proper diagnosis, and an interdisciplinary team approach for proper treatment.

The Myo-Ninja is a fun tool to use during the habituation phase of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. It acts as a visual cue for self-evaluation of Oral Rest Posture. A family member should hide the ninja in various places around the home that the client frequents. The Ninja should move around often so he can “catch” the client displaying good Oral Rest Posture. Every time the ninja is found, the client should self-evaluate their Oral Rest Posture. Each Pack includes 12 Myo-Ninjas and 12 cue cards to give to your patients.
