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.
