What is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that aims to correct the function and posture of the tongue, lips, and jaw. It is a series of exercises that are designed to retrain the muscles of the mouth and face, helping to correct issues related to improper oral habits, such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and improper swallowing. These habits can lead to a range of problems, including dental malocclusions, sleep apnea, and other airway disorders.
How does Myofunctional Therapy work?
Myofunctional Therapy works by re-educating the muscles of the mouth and face to function correctly. The therapy involves a series of exercises that are tailored to the patient's specific needs. The exercises target the tongue, lips, and jaw, and are designed to improve breathing, swallowing, and speaking. Myofunctional Therapy can also help to reduce snoring and sleep apnea symptoms.
Who can benefit from Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional Therapy can benefit anyone who has issues related to improper oral habits. It is especially useful for children who have trouble swallowing, breathing, or speaking, as well as adults who suffer from sleep apnea or other airway disorders. Myofunctional Therapy can also be beneficial for those who have undergone orthodontic treatment or have had oral surgery.
