Faces Grow Around the Tongue

The tongue is not just a muscle — it’s the architect of the face. When positioned correctly, it shapes wide dental arches, balanced facial development, and an open airway. When restricted (like by a tongue-tie), the face narrows, the airway constricts, and long-term functional issues follow. Our team takes a functional approach that looks beyond symptoms to the root causes.

👉 Schedule a consultation with us to understand how tongue posture and function affect lifelong growth and health.

I enjoy cranioscral therapy, especially with Moriah at East Berlin Smiles. I find it balancing, tension reducing and very relaxing. Thank you Moriah Crystelle for a great session!

Thank you Dr. Toothman and staff for a great orthodontic experience! I am very thankful to this office for collaboration on Myo cases as well as my own 2nd round of ortho as an adult. Now my tongue and facial muscles will help retain the orthodontic work!

We may look like we’re playing, but every weird little prop has a purpose. 💕

Helping tongues find their spot, lips get stronger, and breathing get better—one ridiculous-looking exercise at a time.

Here’s to 5 years! 🥂

July 2021, Dr. Lori Cockley presented me with the opportunity to provide Myofunctional Therapy to the patients coming through the Pennsylvania Tongue Tie Center.

Through collaboration, education, and personalized care, we’ve helped countless patients find relief from symptoms related to orofacial myofunctional disorders and restricted tongue function.

This partnership is a true example of how teamwork leads to better patient outcomes. When providers work together with a shared goal, lives are changed.

Thank you, Dr. Cockley and the entire team, Pennsylvania Tongue-Tie Center, East Berlin Smiles, for five years of trust, collaboration, and exceptional patient care. Here’s to continuing to help even more patients breathe better, sleep better, eat better, and live healthier lives.

Happy 5th Anniversary to an amazing partnership! ❤️

✨ Proud Moment ✨

I’m incredibly proud to announce that I have officially achieved COM®️ status and am now an IAOM Board Certified Orofacial Myologist!

This milestone represents 6 years of dedicated study, hands-on clinical practice, and building a successful — and continually growing — practice. The journey has required persistence, advanced training, mentorship, and a deep commitment to providing the highest standard of care in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.

I’m excited for the future and the opportunity to continue helping more patients improve their health, oral facial function, airway, and overall quality of life.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, referred, mentored, and trusted me along the way — I am so grateful. 💙

Here’s to continued growth and helping even more lives in the years ahead!
