While thumb-sucking might seem like a minor issue or even cute, it poses both short and long-term health related issues. It can lead to dental misalignment, speech difficulties, and oral motor problems. Prolonged thumb-sucking results in jaw misalignment, affecting facial development. Early intervention by a myofunctional therapist can prevent and address these complications.

Through targeted exercises and behavioral interventions, Lauren will work to break the habit, improve oral muscle function, and correct associated issues like dental misalignment. By promoting healthier oral habits, Lauren helps clients overcome the challenges associated with prolonged thumb-sucking for long-term oral well-being.
