Speech Therapy for Children and Adults
Our entire body is a complex structure, with each part dependent on the others. It’s no surprise, then, that modern dentistry is based on treating conditions holistically, recognizing the body as an interconnected whole. An example of such therapy is the treatment of malocclusions in children and adults.
Who is speech therapy at Luxdentica for?
For your child:
- when you have doubts about his speech development,
- when you suspect that speech development is slower than that of peers,
- when you are afraid that a malocclusion will affect the correctness of your speech,
- you want to ask our opinion.
For you:
- when you have doubts about the correctness of your speech,
- when you are concerned that your malocclusion is adversely affecting your speech,
- you don’t want to look for answers to your questions about correct pronunciation on the Internet,
- you are worried that speech therapy is not bringing results,
- you want to ask our opinion.
Malocclusion and speech defects
Our experienced specialists are well aware that incorrect pronunciation is often associated with malocclusion, and vice versa. The speech apparatus is a complex, interconnected system of facial structures whose proper functioning depends on the harmony of all their components. The lips, teeth, tongue, palate, orbicularis oculi, and temporomandibular joints all play an active role in the articulation of sounds and their correct pronunciation. Any abnormality in this complex and intricate system has a profound impact on the accuracy of words.
Speech therapy – what are the benefits?
Dental therapy should be supported by speech therapy and vice versa.
What are the benefits of such synergistic treatment?
- first of all, it facilitates orthodontic treatment.
- shortens its duration.
- makes recurrences of malocclusion much less frequent.
The speech therapist selects therapy depending on the specific needs of the patient
Decisive factors include the type and severity of speech defects, the type and severity of malocclusions, and additional abnormalities that affect the condition of the teeth and communication problems.
The aim of speech therapy is to remove, first of all, the etiological factors that caused the malocclusion, such as:
- incorrect swallowing pattern,
- incorrect chewing method,
- improper breathing pattern,
- tongue position disorders,
- muscle tension disorders,
- speech defects,
- abnormal habits (e.g. thumb sucking, lip biting).
The frequency of meetings with the specialist is determined individually during the first visit. It is also crucial to encourage the patient to engage in independent exercises, which they can perform at home.
We can practice with a therapist in the office, but also at home. We use various devices for the exercises. Importantly, neither the patient’s age nor the presence of an audible speech impediment matter. The primary goal of meetings with a speech therapist at Luxdentica in Krakow is to eliminate the factors that caused and maintain the malocclusion.
