What Is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy involves exercises that strengthen and retrain the muscles of the face and tongue to restore optimal function so you can breathe properly, sleep better, and feel your best.Myofunctional therapy goals include:• Nasal breathing all day and all night (optimal breathing pattern)
• Tongue resting on the roof of the mouth (optimal tongue posture)
• Lips sealed together easily and comfortably (optimal lip posture)
• Appropriate chewing and swallowing patterns
• Elimination of dysfunctional oral habits like thumbsucking

How myofunctional therapy can help you

With a personalized therapy program, we target and correct oral muscular dysfunction (weak or over worked muscles of the face and tongue) which can cause or contribute to many common problems including:• Mouth breathing (during the day and/or night)
• Open mouth posture at rest (lips apart, tongue low and forward)
• Tongue thrust during speech or swallowing
• Constantly chapped lips
• Dry mouth
• Drooling
• TMJ/jaw pain
• Teeth clenching and grinding
• Chronic congestion
• Oral habits like thumbsucking, prolonged pacifier use, nail biting, chewing on clothes or objects
• Sleep disturbances (snoring/sleep apnea, night wakings, night terrors, bedwetting)

If you experience these symptoms, you may benefit from myofunctional therapy. Book a free 10 minute call to see if myofunctional therapy is right for you!
