Myofunctional therapy is a non-invasive treatment that focuses on improving how the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue work together. When these muscles aren’t functioning properly, it can affect breathing, swallowing, speech, and even tooth alignment.
Using simple, guided exercises, this therapy helps retrain proper habits—like resting the tongue in the correct position, breathing through the nose, and swallowing correctly.
By addressing issues like mouth breathing and tongue thrust, myofunctional therapy supports healthy development, improves overall function, and helps maintain long-term orthodontic results for both kids and adults.
