Enhance Myofunction(previously Enhance Dentistry and Enhance Tongue-Tie Clinic)

At Enhance, we focus on improving orofacial health and function. We strive for life-changing. That’s because understanding how proper development and function of our mouth, tongue and jaws affect our ability to breathe, eat and sleep. Or how it affects and infants’ ability to latch, feed and thrive. We strive to be better every day. To continually learning, develop and pioneer new solutions and treatments. Because the better we are at what we do, the more we can enhance patients’ lives.

Part 3 | “Should everyone get their baby assessed by an IBCLC just in case something is wrong?” 🌸

Choosing an IBCLC is a very personal decision - and qualifications are only part of it. ❤️

With my own grandchild on the way, I was conscious of his Mum being supported with an experienced IBCLC who she feels comfortable to explore the post-birth period and hear real answers to her questions or concerns - not just “hearsay”.

You want someone whose approach aligns with yours, who listens rather than assumes, and who knows when something is within their scope - and when another professional needs to be brought into the team.

After 15 years of working alongside mothers and babies, I’ve seen just how valuable truly collaborative care can be.

Part 2 | “Should everyone get their baby assessed by an IBCLC just in case something is wrong?” 🌸

With my own grandchild on the way, this is advice our family is putting into practice too. ❤️

Mum has chosen an IBCLC and will see her prenatally, before baby arrives.

The value isn’t in assuming breastfeeding will be difficult. In fact, I hope it won’t be! It’s in entering those early days with knowledge and an established relationship, rather than having to find someone you trust for the first time when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed or already experiencing difficulties.

Of course, the person you choose to have in your corner matters - which brings me to Part 3: what should you actually look for in an IBCLC? 👀

Part 1 | “Should everyone get their baby assessed by an IBCLC just in case something is wrong?” 🌸

There’s a difference between looking for problems and having support in place. ❤️

Knowing who you can turn to, and having that relationship established early, can make those first weeks feel a little less overwhelming.

This is Part 1 of our conversation about lactation support before and after baby arrives.

21/09/2026

Mouth breathing can look like a harmless habit… but there may be more going on beneath the surface. 👄

The way a child breathes and where their tongue rests can influence how their palate, jaw and face develop as they grow.

If you’re noticing regular mouth breathing in your child, it’s worth asking why. A functional assessment can help identify what may be contributing and whether support is needed.

At Enhance, our approach is led by Dr Marján Jones - laser dental surgeon, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and practitioner qualified in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) - bringing these different areas of expertise together to look beyond symptoms and assess function as a whole. 🌸

We recently had a special day at Enhance Myofunction 🥰

Six families came back to us with their second or third baby after we had previously cared for an older sibling.

Returning families are something we see regularly, but yesterday we stopped to notice what it represents: trust, loyalty, and confidence in the care they received the first time around.

Several parents told us, “I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

There is something incredibly meaningful about a family placing another precious little person in our care. We never take that trust for granted.

So yesterday, we took a few photos along the way where we could, partly to celebrate these beautiful growing families, and partly because our team is very proud to have earned the privilege of caring for them again. ❤️

5 common symptoms of tongue ties in babies

🌸Poor latch or difficulty latching: 
restricted tongue movement can make it harder for baby to achieve and maintain an effective latch.

🌸Sliding off the ni**le: 
baby may struggle to maintain the seal needed to stay comfortably attached.

🌸Fatigue or sleepiness during feeds:
when feeding requires more effort and work, babies may tire before they’ve transferred enough milk.

🌸Irritability while feeding: 
difficulty coordinating an effective feed can make feeding frustrating for baby.

🌸Poor weight gain: 
if milk transfer isn’t effective, baby may not be taking in enough milk despite spending plenty of time feeding.

And these are only some of the possible signs.

Importantly, tongue tie is never just about what the frenulum looks like, or one symptom in isolation. Diagnosis comes from putting the whole picture together: history, signs, symptoms, tissue tension and function.  

Since 2012, Dr Marján Jones has worked at the forefront of multidisciplinary care for oral restrictions in Australia. As a dental surgeon, IBCLC and practitioner trained in myofunctional therapy, she has brought together surgical care, infant feeding support, bodywork and therapy as part of a broader approach to function and development.
 
Early intervention, functional assessment and care of the whole person (rather than treating a tie in isolation) remain central to her work.

If these symptoms sounds familiar, get a functional assessment by a qualified infant feeding professional and find out what support your baby actually needs.

We saw lovely Annabelle 5 years after her original frenectomy visit when she was 4 months old.

She was gagging and choking at the breast back then. She struggled with let downs and clicking all the time, and her mum experienced pain while breastfeeding and suffered mastitis from poor milk transfer.

She had a submucosal tongue tie and lip tie – both of which were released with Waterlase with Dr Jones.
After release, Mum wrote to us and spoke about the progress made – breastfeeding no longer hurt, Annabelle was milk drunk and full within minutes. Her letter spoke more about her temperament that improved now she was satiated.

Five years later – jaw development is fantastic, baby teeth are well spaced out and function is excellent! We are so delighted for this family.

This is our WHY!

Breastfeeding shouldn’t leave you feeling broken, confused or like you’re failing.💔

Sometimes pain, constant feeding or an unsettled baby are signs that something deeper needs support - and the right assessment can make all the difference.

You deserve answers and support, and you are not alone! 🫶

Breastfeeding is nature’s first and best orthodontic treatment. 🌟

Research shows that breastfeeding supports the developing mouth in a unique way, encouraging coordinated movement of the tongue, jaw and facial muscles as a baby feeds.

In simple terms, bottle feeding may not provide the developing mouth with the same pattern of muscle activity and stimulation as breastfeeding.

We also know there are many reasons why a mother may not be able to breastfeed. At Enhance, our role is to share evidence-based information drawn from research so parents can better understand the factors that may influence oral and facial development.

We support women to make well-informed choices about the method of feeding their babies, taking into account their individual circumstances and their baby’s needs.
Whatever your feeding journey looks like, being informed and supported is what matters. 🌸💓

Your breast size or ni**le shape is rarely the reason breastfeeding isn’t working.

So before blaming your body, have the feed itself assessed by someone trained in breastfeeding function, such as an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) or another appropriately qualified infant feeding professional. You can find our list of recommended practitioners on our website. 🌸
