Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy is a non-invasive treatment that retrains the muscles of the face, mouth, tongue, and throat to function properly. Healthy muscle function plays an important role in breathing, swallowing, speech, facial development, and sleep quality.
This personalized therapy may help address:
- Mouth breathing
- Snoring and sleep-disordered breathing
- Tongue thrust
- Improper swallowing patterns
- Poor oral habits affecting facial growth and airway development
By correcting dysfunctional muscle patterns, myofunctional therapy supports healthier breathing, improved sleep, enhanced orthodontic outcomes, and better long-term oral and overall health.
How We Help
Under Sherry’s certified guidance, patients receive customized therapy programs designed to:
Promote Nasal Breathing
Healthy nasal breathing is essential for proper facial development, quality sleep, and overall wellness. Myofunctional therapy helps retrain breathing patterns, encouraging efficient nasal breathing throughout the day and night.
Strengthen Oral & Facial Muscles
Targeted exercises improve the strength and coordination of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and jaw. Better muscle function supports healthy swallowing, speech, breathing, and long-term oral health.
Support Healthy Jaw Development
Proper muscle function helps guide healthy jaw growth and dental development in children. Early intervention may reduce the risk of future orthodontic complications while supporting balanced facial development.
Improve Sleep & Airway Health
Poor oral muscle function can contribute to snoring, mouth breathing, and sleep-disordered breathing. Myofunctional therapy works alongside other airway-focused treatments to promote healthier breathing and more restful sleep.
Enhance Orthodontic Results
Correcting oral muscle dysfunction helps protect orthodontic investments by reducing the likelihood of teeth shifting after treatment. Myofunctional therapy supports more stable, long-lasting orthodontic results.
Personalized Therapy Plans
Every patient receives a customized treatment plan based on their unique needs, goals, and oral function. We work closely with you to improve breathing, swallowing, muscle coordination, and overall quality of life through a comfortable, personalized approach.
