What Is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy is a personalized exercise program that retrains the muscles of the tongue, lips, cheeks, jaw, and face to work together properly.
Healthy oral muscle function plays an important role in:
Nasal breathing
Quality sleep
Proper swallowing
Speech
Chewing
Jaw stability
Facial growth and development
Overall health
When these muscles aren't functioning correctly, they can contribute to a variety of symptoms in both children and adults.
Why Does Oral Function Matter?
The tongue should naturally rest on the roof of the mouth with the lips gently closed while breathing through the nose.
When this doesn't happen, the muscles adapt to unhealthy patterns that may affect:
Airway health
Sleep quality
Facial development
Dental alignment
Jaw comfort
Overall function
Myofunctional therapy helps retrain these muscles to develop healthier habits that support lifelong wellness.
