Myofunctional therapy

Myofunctional therapy is a specialized treatment that involves exercises to strengthen and improve the function of the muscles in the mouth and face, particularly the tongue, lips, and cheeks. It aims to correct habits like tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, and improper swallowing that can affect bite alignment, speech, and overall oral health. Through targeted exercises, individuals learn to maintain proper muscle positioning, which can enhance breathing, speech, and even sleep quality. This therapy is often recommended for children and adults to support better oral function and prevent or address orthodontic issues.
