Elisha Allred
Certified Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist & Registered Dental Hygienist
Hello, I’m Elisha, a crunchy mama, long-time dental geek, and orofacial myofunctional therapist with a passion for root-cause, whole-family healing.
As a native of Lake Norman, I’m grateful to serve the very community that shaped me, supporting families across Mooresville, Statesville, and the surrounding region.
​
As a registered dental hygienist with over 30 years in dentistry, I’ve had a front-row seat to how oral function shapes the entire body. My 20 years in an airway- and TMJ-centered practice were especially transformative, showing me patterns that traditional dentistry often overlooks. That insight naturally steered me into the world of myofunctional therapy, where I can help patients experience deeper, root-level change.
​
My practice offers boutique, concierge-style care, seeing one patient at a time and giving my full attention to each individual and family.
I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing concerns such as mouth breathing, snoring, tongue thrust, orthodontic relapse, airway challenges, and TMJ-related symptoms. Care typically includes a comprehensive functional assessment, one-on-one therapy sessions with me, a customized at-home program that you will complete daily to retrain habits and target the root cause of your symptoms, and ongoing support.
My approach is holistic, personalized, and relationship-driven, looking beyond symptoms to understand the patterns driving your or your child’s challenges.
​
I received my formal certification in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy through the AOMT and hold additional certification with MyoMunchee. I continue to take ongoing advanced coursework to stay aligned with the latest research, science, and airway-focused innovations. I’m also an active member of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA), the IAOM, IAAH, and Airway Circle.
​
As a homeschooling mother of three grown children, I understand the rhythms of family life and how improving one person’s oral function can uplift the entire home. My faith guides the heart behind my work and encourages me to care for every patient with compassion, integrity, and genuine understanding.
​
Outside of my practice, I enjoy cooking wholesome meals, hiking, reading, spending time outdoors, and serving my family and community.
​
I would be honored to partner with you as we explore holistic, root-cause solutions grounded in proper oral function, better breathing, and lifelong wellness.

Address the Root Cause
Person First, Patient Second
A holistic approach addresses not just the symptoms but the root causes of orofacial dysfunctions, leading to overall better health outcomes.
Holistic care takes into account the individual needs and lifestyle of each patient, resulting in custom-tailored therapy that maximizes effectiveness.
Enhanced Wellbeing & Prevention
By integrating multiple aspects of your health—such as nutrition, posture, and breathing—a holistic approach not only improves patients' quality of life but also helps prevent the recurrence of orofacial issues, promoting long-term well-being.
Coordination with Other Providers
A holistic approach often involves collaboration with other healthcare professionals, ensuring that all aspects of a patient's health are considered and treated.
