It All Starts With Function

What is myofunctional therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is a personalized approach that improves the function of the muscles of the mouth, tongue, face, and airway. These muscles play an important role in how we breathe, sleep, chew, swallow, and develop healthy oral habits.

When these muscles aren't functioning as they should, they can contribute to concerns such as mouth breathing, poor tongue posture, snoring, restless sleep, TMJ discomfort, tongue thrust, and orthodontic challenges. By restoring healthy function, myofunctional therapy helps create the foundation for better breathing, better sleep, and lifelong wellness.
