Myofunctional Therapy
Improve your oral and overall health with myofunctional therapy, a treatment designed to address orofacial muscular imbalances that can impact breathing, chewing and speech.
Understanding Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Orofacial myofunctional therapy focuses on retraining the muscles of the face, tongue and mouth to function properly. Improper muscle function can lead to issues like difficulty swallowing, speech disorders and sleep apnea. This therapy involves exercises and techniques to correct these imbalances, helping patients achieve better oral posture, improved breathing and enhanced quality of life.
Our team uses a personalized approach to myofunctional therapy, tailoring the exercises to each patient’s unique needs. This non-invasive treatment is suitable for both children and adults experiencing issues such as tongue thrusting, improper swallowing or breathing problems. Myofunctional therapy addresses oral health concerns while contributing to better overall well-being.
