I specialize in Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, working closely with dental and medical professionals to provide a therapeutic approach to correcting mouth resting posture and oral phase swallowing patterns to enhance muscle coordination to decrease the rate of orthodontic relapse and retreat. I also have a digit sucking elimination program with a 100% success rate for kids ranging from 3 and older as well as adults. Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders have a wide range of negative effects on an individuals health including sleep apnea and dental health.
I opened the Center for Orofacial Myology in 2021 to provide collaborative and comprehensive treatment of tongue ties and tongue postures in all ages. We provide location consulting by an IBCLC, craniosacral therapy by a PT, airway evaluations and consultations with ENT/PA-C providers, and myofunctional therapy.
I started the All About Airway Collaborative Group in Boise, Idaho to bring airway providers together to have open discussions. We meet quarterly.
In 2022 I launched the Chatterton MyoCourses to help further train and educate professionals in Orofacial Myofunctional disorders.
I am the Mom to three amazing children and have a very supportive husband who 100% supports all of my “crazy” ideas.
