Myofunctional Therapy: Enhancing Oral Health and Function
This therapy focuses on correcting improper tongue posture, lip movement, and jaw alignment, which can all affect the health of your teeth, gums, and overall oral function.
Myofunctional therapy is a specialized treatment designed to improve the way the muscles around your mouth function. This therapy focuses on correcting improper tongue posture, lip movement, and jaw alignment, which can all affect the health of your teeth, gums, and overall oral function. By addressing these issues, myofunctional therapy can help prevent or resolve a variety of dental and health concerns, including bite problems, teeth grinding, and even sleep apnea.
How Myofunctional Therapy Works
The goal of myofunctional therapy is to retrain the muscles of the mouth and face to work properly. Through a series of exercises and techniques, patients learn to reposition the tongue, lips, and jaw to promote better alignment and function. These exercises can be done at home with the guidance of a trained myofunctional therapist, often in conjunction with other dental treatments like braces or Invisalign. Myofunctional therapy is suitable for both children and adults and can be particularly helpful in addressing issues that may not be resolved by traditional orthodontics alone.
Benefits of Myofunctional Therapy
- Improved Bite and Jaw Alignment: By correcting muscle imbalances, myofunctional therapy can help align the bite and jaw, improving chewing and speaking functions.
- Better Breathing and Posture: Proper tongue posture can improve nasal breathing, which can reduce the likelihood of snoring or sleep apnea.
- Preventing Dental Issues: Correcting oral muscle habits can prevent teeth grinding, tooth decay, and gum disease.
- Improved Speech and Swallowing: By retraining the muscles of the mouth, myofunctional therapy can improve speech clarity and swallowing function.
