What does your tongue have to do with breathing, swallowing, sleep, and oral health?

In Is Your Tongue Killing You?, pioneering myofunctional therapist Joy Moeller explores the often-overlooked role of tongue function in overall health and introduces readers to the principles of orofacial myofunctional therapy.

Through clinical insights and real patient experiences, Joy explains how habitual patterns involving the tongue, lips, and jaw can influence oral function—and how myofunctional therapy works to address these patterns.

Written for patients, families, and healthcare professionals, this accessible book offers a compelling introduction to the importance of orofacial function.

The AOMT only carries paperback copies of this book.
