CREST HILL, Ill. – Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center (ATWC), a multidisciplinary clinic specializing in orofacial myofunctional therapy, airway health, feeding, and tongue-tie treatment, has been recognized as the Top Orofacial Myofunctional Disorder Therapy Clinic 2026 by Medical Care Review. The award, featured in the publication’s June 2026 issue, honors clinics that demonstrate exceptional clinical outcomes and reputation within their specialty, as determined by subscriber nominations and a panel of medical experts, industry peers, and thought leaders.
The recognition centers on ATWC’s approach to orofacial myofunctional disorders, conditions involving tongue-tie, lip-tie, and compromised palate development that can affect breathing, feeding, speech, sleep, and overall physical and cognitive development. Rather than treating these as isolated symptoms, ATWC evaluates the full system behind them, combining comprehensive two-hour evaluations with coordinated care across orthodontics, dentistry, ENT, Ot, body workers, and other pediatrics providers.
“Our goal is not to give families a label, but to help them understand what is happening, why it matters, and what steps can truly improve function,” said Margaret Stoch, founder of Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center.
Under Margaret Stoch’s clinical leadership, ATWC’s team addresses concerns ranging from infant feeding difficulties tied to tongue and lip restrictions to adult swallowing, voice, and long-standing oral and facial muscle patterns. The clinic’s model treats therapy as a developmental process rather than a short-term fix, with clinicians pursuing ongoing training at national and international conferences to stay current with emerging airway and myofunctional research.
One case highlighted in the Medical Care Review feature involved an infant with unresolved feeding difficulties after months of unsuccessful lactation support. ATWC clinicians identified oral restrictions and tension affecting the child’s latch, and, working alongside an oral surgeon, combined myofunctional therapy with CFT bodywork to support recovery. The child showed steady improvement in feeding, mobility, and regulation within days and continued to improve in the weeks following treatment.
ATWC’s whole-person model reflects a broader industry shift toward root-cause airway health, in which speech, feeding, sleep, and behavioral concerns are understood as interconnected rather than treated in isolation. The clinic’s care team collaborates closely with referring providers to ensure families receive consistent guidance rather than fragmented recommendations.
