Why You May Benefit From Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional therapy helps improve the function, coordination, and strength of the muscles of the mouth, tongue, face, and airway. Proper oral function plays an important role in breathing, sleep quality, facial development, swallowing, speech, posture, and overall wellness.

Children and adults may benefit from myofunctional therapy if they experience:

  • Mouth breathing

  • Snoring or restless sleep

  • Daytime fatigue

  • Teeth grinding or clenching

  • TMJ discomfort or jaw tension

  • Tongue thrust

  • Difficulty chewing or swallowing

  • Speech concerns

  • Low tongue posture

  • Open-mouth posture

  • Orthodontic relapse

  • Chronic congestion

  • Hyperactivity, poor focus, or behavioral concerns related to poor sleep

  • Facial tension or improper oral habits

Myofunctional therapy uses personalized exercises and habit training to help support healthier breathing patterns, proper tongue posture, improved oral function, and better overall quality of life.

At Airway Hygiene with Kayla, therapy is tailored to each individual and designed to support children and adults through a collaborative, airway-focused approach to wellness.
