Myofunctional Therapy

About our myofunctional therapy services:

Myofunctional therapy is a type of treatment that can help improve the function and appearance of the muscles in the face, mouth, and throat. This therapy involves a series of exercises that are designed to strengthen these muscles and improve their coordination, which can lead to a variety of benefits, such as:


1. Improved breathing: Myofunctional therapy can help improve the way you breathe by strengthening the muscles involved in breathing and reducing mouth breathing.


2. Better sleep: By improving breathing and reducing snoring, myofunctional therapy can help you sleep better and wake up feeling more rested.


3. Enhanced speech: Myofunctional therapy can help correct speech problems caused by muscle weakness or coordination issues.


4. Improved swallowing: Myofunctional therapy can help improve the way you swallow, which can reduce the risk of choking and aspiration and can even help selective eaters expand their diet.


5. Improved appearance: Myofunctional therapy can also help improve the appearance of your face and avoid orthodontic relapse that may occur due to improper tongue positioning.


6. Decreased pain: By improving oral rest posture and movement patterns, myofunctional therapy can decrease jaw pain (TMJ disorder) that usually occurs with clenching, grinding and maladaptive oral movements.

 

Overall, myofunctional therapy can have a significant impact on your overall health and quality of life. It can improve your breathing, sleep, speech, swallowing, and appearance, while also reducing the risk of dental and orthodontic issues, including jaw pain. If you're looking for a non-invasive and natural way to improve your oral and facial health, myofunctional therapy may be the right option for you.
