Myofunctional Therapy

Specialized therapy services focused on addressing improper uses of the muscles involved in essential functions such as breathing, swallowing, speech, and facial growth and development. Through various games, activities, and exercises, myofunctional therapy aims to improve muscle strength, coordination, and symmetry and promote proper breathing, swallowing, and tongue posture, laying the foundation for a lifetime of optimal oral health and overall well-being.

The Four Main Goals of Myofunctional Therapy:

Proper Tongue Posture (tongue up resting in its proper position on the palate)
Lip Seal (lips closed comfortably at rest)
Nasal Breathing
Proper Swallowing Pattern
