Patient Testimonials
myofunctional therapy is helping people
"I was referred to Joy Moeller because I was suffering terribly from grinding my teeth. After working under her guidance, not only did I stop grinding them completely, but she determined that one of the greatest causes of my sleep apnea was that I was severely “tongue-tied.” She referred me to a dentist who performed oral surgery as a remedy. Additionally he helped me solve other contributing sleep apnea issues. Joy supervised my progress throughout. Working with Joy has increased the quality of my life tremendously, and I will be forever grateful for her assistance." - N. Jackson
