Get ready to shut yo’ mouth!
The American Dental Association recommends that all dentists screen for suboptimal growth and development. At Toothpillow, we’ve simplified the screening process with an online assessment form, where we ask for photos of your child's mouth easily taken from your phone.
Once the assessment form is submitted, your child’s case will be reviewed by our head clinical care team and assigned to a dentist in your state who is trained and experienced in treating airway related conditions, particularly as they affect breathing and overall health, and will give a diagnosis and treatment plan. This includes prescribing the correct oral appliance for your child and monitoring them through to the next device as they grow and progress.
Your prescribed oral appliance aims to address the root cause of orthodontic issues by targeting poor oral habits. The appliance teaches children to breathe through their nose, properly position their tongue on the roof of their mouth, and encourages the natural growth of their jaws to their full potential. As a result, this treatment creates adequate space for teeth to grow in straight, reducing the need for braces. Our doctors recommend wearing the prescribed appliance every night and 1-2 hours during the day. Patient compliance is key to success!
Work it out!
A myofunctional therapist is a licensed speech language pathologist or dental hygienist that has undergone extensive training in treating dysfunction in the muscles of the face, mouth, and throat. They’re like a personal trainer for your tongue!
Myofunctional therapy is one of the most important parts of the Toothpillow treatment because it addresses the oral facial muscles and tongue function, which often develops poorly due to bad habits. Myofunctional exercises are simple, quick routines designed to restore proper tongue mobility, tongue posture, and function.
For optimal retention and consistent progress, our recommended treatment plan is best because it includes 10 one-on-one sessions with a Toothpillow myofunctional therapist that will customize the program week-to-week for the best possible outcome. Though we do offer a self guided option, your results may not be as effective. Learn more

checkin’ in!
The Toothpillow app is our virtual airway dental office, and your partner, helping your child to track progress and stay compliant.
The app includes a daily checklist:
You’ll report your progress weekly, and submit monthly photos so we can monitor jaw growth and teeth alignment. If anything seems off track, your doctor and their care team will reach out.
Every three months you'll submit a full set of photos and update us on the sleep and breathing symptom list. This helps us ensure your child is progressing as expected.
Sniff, sniff, blow!
Good nasal hygiene is crucial—especially for kids and adults who are frequently mouth breathing. It plays a significant role in maintaining open airways during sleep, reducing the likelihood of snoring and sleep-disordered breathing, leading to poor-quality sleep and daytime fatigue.
Humans are obligate nose breathers, and it can actually make you healthier! For optimal health, children (and adults!) should breathe through their nose whenever they are not speaking or eating.
Nasal spray is included in your Toothpillow box to help loosen up and clear nasal passages, making it easier to breathe through your nose. We encourage morning and night-time use—every time you brush your teeth you should also clear your nose.
We accept HSA, FSA, and CareCredit.

Amanda was an incredible Myo functional therapist and support along my daughter’s toothpillow journey! Amanda is so very knowledgeable and attentive all while being very kind and encouraging! Although these sessions are optional I am so glad we chose to do them and I feel they were an integral part of my daughter’s overall success. We will miss our zoom calls with Amanda!
With Ms. Tiernee’s supportive guidance, my son was able to achieve amazing progress throughout our myo functional therapy journey. We were motivated to keep working and growing due to Ms. Tiernee’s continual encouragement and professional teaching abilities. We are very pleased with the outcome.
100% recommend! My daughter was on the path for extensive treatments with headgear and braces. After months of consistent use, her jaw and teeth alignment have had HUGE noticeable improvements. She has even stated how she is so much happier with how she sees herself and feels. I am confident that we are on the right path for less orthodontics in the future! This team is great to work with - highly recommend!
