Mouth and face muscle therapy for children and teenagers in Estonia
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.

This study tests whether simple exercises for the mouth, tongue, and face can help children with mild sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It's a non-surgical, drug-free approach that may be a good option for kids who haven't tried other treatments.
This study tests a new device called TongueFit that helps children strengthen their tongue muscles to improve swallowing. If your child has trouble swallowing due to weak tongue muscles, this therapy may help.
This study tests 'myofunctional therapy' — special exercises for the mouth and face muscles — to see if they help children aged 6–12 with sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It may be an option if your child still has sleep apnea after standard treatments.
This study measures tongue muscle strength in healthy children aged 4 to 17. It helps researchers understand normal tongue function, which can improve care for children with swallowing or speech problems.
