Myofunctional Therapy?

Yeah, it’s a bit of a mouthful… literally.
The full name is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, but here’s the quick breakdown:

Oro = Mouth

Facial = Face

Myo = Muscle

Functional = How something works

Therapy = Helping something work better

Basically, it’s about retraining the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue to support healthy breathing, posture, and habits.

Mouth breathing, low tongue posture, or poor swallowing habits can affect sleep, cause jaw or neck pain, and impact growth and development.

Myofunctional therapy helps get things back on track by improving those patterns for better comfort, long-term health, and optimal function.

Who Can Benefit from Myofunctional Therapy?

Short answer: So many people! Children and adults alike can benefit from myofunctional therapy.

In an ideal world, everyone would develop optimal oral and facial muscle function. Whether it is a tongue tie that went undiagnosed, chronic nasal congestion that led to mouth breathing, or habits like clenching and grinding, many of us unknowingly develop dysfunctions that can impact long-term health.

Myofunctional therapy helps retrain the muscles and oral structures to restore proper function. If you experience one or several of the following symptoms, you may benefit from myofunctional therapy:

  • Tongue-tie (pre- or post-release)

  • Low tongue posture

  • Tongue thrust swallowing

  • Clenching and/or Grinding

  • Jaw pain

  • Neck pain

  • Headaches

  • Crowded teeth

  • Orthodontic relapse
