Myofunctional therapy, or Orofacial Myology, is a gentle, noninvasive treatment designed to improve the function of the muscles in your face and mouth. This therapy focuses on correcting the way these muscles move, especially the tongue, lips, and jaw, to promote better oral health.

Key Benefits of Myofunctional Therapy:

• Improved Breathing: Encourages nasal breathing over mouth breathing, which is essential for overall health.

• Enhanced Oral Function: Aids in proper chewing and swallowing, making eating more comfortable and effective.

• Jaw Alignment: Helps relieve tension in the jaw and neck, potentially alleviating TMJ-related pain.

• Support for Orthodontic Treatment: Addresses issues like tongue thrusting and helps maintain the results of braces or other orthodontic work.

• Sleep Quality Improvement: Can reduce symptoms of sleep apnea and other sleep-disordered breathing conditions.

• Development of Healthy Habits: Promotes proper tongue positioning and lip sealing, contributing to a healthier oral environment.

Myofunctional therapy is suitable for people of all ages and can significantly enhance both oral health and overall quality of life. If you're interested in learning how myofunctional therapy can benefit you or your family, reach out to our office today to learn more.
