Myofunctional Therapy Treatment Outcomes
Myofunctional therapy addresses a variety of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), which are patterns of muscle dysfunction involving the tongue, lips, jaw, and face.
Myofunctional therapy focuses on retraining these muscles to work in harmony, improving breathing, chewing, swallowing, and overall oral health and development.
Personalized, gentle myofunctional therapy to support better health, breathing, sleep, and function.
Myofunctional therapy focuses on improving the function and coordination of the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue. These muscles play a vital role in breathing, chewing, swallowing, speaking, and maintaining proper jaw and dental alignment.
Think of it like physiotherapy for the muscles of the mouth and face – gentle, personalized exercises that create lasting changes to support better health, breathing, sleep, and function.
Better Oral Function for Everyone
During myofunctional therapy, we work on exercises and strategies to retrain these muscles to function correctly. This can help address issues and support optimal facial growth and development in children and improve overall oral health and comfort for people of all ages.
