The before and after pictures of what Lori was able to do in just three short months with both kids are astounding! The results from her work eliminated their sucking habits in no time, retrained and strengthened their oral muscle development and tongue posture, and completely changed the way their bites closed together. The visual difference was amazing! We will only trust Lori's expertise with any future myofunctional work they may need!

I was initially unsure why our dentist recommended our 13 year-old daughter start myofunctional therapy for improper tongue posture. On our first meeting, Lorraine Frey clearly explained it was not only to insure Sarah's teeth didn't move after orthodontia treatment. Sarah needed to retrain her mouth muscles, which would help with her forward head posture, mouth breathing and thumb sucking. As important, Lorraine explained to Sarah her role and secured her commitment to practice and stick with the treatment. Through a well thought out program, Sarah achieved all benchmarks and enjoyed the experience as well, fully engaged in the process. The end results were incredibly successful, as the myofunctional therapy also reduced Sarah's neck pain and headaches. Sarah's sessions with Lorraine Frey were very beneficial and we are forever grateful to Lorraine for her professionalism, patience and expertise which have help Sarah regain her health.

My son, at age 5, took instantly to Lori. Her program worked for him on DAY ONE and he hasn't sucked his thumb since, has more energy and is finally the little guy we knew he could be! I cannot recommend her enough!" swallowing habits, tongue rest positioning and posture habits, promote nasal breathing, and eliminate sucking and other orofacial habits. In many cases, orthodontic treatment often accompanies orofacial myofunctional therapy. If incorrect muscle patterning or swallowing has caused a malocclusion, myofunctional therapy may help prevent further damage.

Without question, Lorraine has a gift for working with children. Her gentle demeanor immediately put my girls at ease, and she made their therapy fun and frustration-free. She also has a gift for helping parents understand how poor oral resting postures can negatively impact children as they grow. She identified issues for both my girls that would have otherwise gone untreated. Both my dentist and my ENT
were quick to act based on her recommendation.

I highly recommend Orofacial Myofunctional therapy with Loraine Frey at Myoworks. Not only have my children's faces developed beautifully while seeing Loraine but even more importantly my children now breathe and swallow correctly. Loraine taught my kids new habits and also gave them tools to breathe well that they will use the rest of their lives. Even I'm using the tools and have learned so much just sitting in on the sessions. Funny enough, my kids now occasionally point out people who have improper breathing techniques.
Angela, mother of a 12 year old boy and 9 year old girl
Our daughter has been a lifelong thumbsucker (almost 13 years). We tried EVERYTHING (socks on her hands, mavala-anti-thumbsucking nail polish, talking to her and showing her what thumb sucking was doing to her teeth, applying lemongrass oil and hand cream, and bribery with Barbie movies and even cash!) It was suggested we have her tonsils looked at. We did that too! NOTHING WORKED! She was becoming more and more aware, as she got to the middle school, how different her smile looked from her friends’. She did not even realize how bad her habit had become. We took our son in for an orthodontic appointment and this is the 1st time I had ever heard of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. I explained our daughter’s dilemma and was referred to Lorraine Frey. I contacted her and we set up our appointment. She explained what her services would provide and what the process was. We went to our appointments and our daughter followed the program plan that Lorraine had set up for her. I am VERY HAPPY to say that our daughter is now THUMB FREE after almost 13 years!!! Her birthday is in 2 days and we are THRILLED that she is free of this habit!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!
