What is Myofunctional Therapy?

What in the world is Myo? Myofunctional therapy in short, is a program that is individually designed for each patient to help with orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs). Clear as mud right!
OMD’s are things like;
Tongue ties and other oral ties – many times found in infants that may have difficulty feeding.
Big people have ties too. Snoring,mouth breathing, joint pain,headaches,poor sleep these can all be indications that your tongue is not doing or is unable to do it’s job. There are different grades of tongue ties as well as anterior and posterior ties.

Benefits of Myofunctional Therapy

Improved Breathing

Encourages nasal breathing instead of mouth breathing, which can reduce the risk of dry mouth, snoring, and sleep apnea.

Better Oral Posture

Promotes correct tongue position, which supports proper alignment of teeth and jaws.

Enhanced Jaw Function

Strengthens the muscles around the jaw, potentially alleviating issues like jaw pain or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Improved Speech

Helps with speech clarity by improving tongue and lip function.
