Myofunctional Therapy Program
Morgan provides a structured 6-month program focused on correcting oral and facial muscle dysfunction. The therapy targets four key functions: correct tongue posture, nasal breathing, adequate lip seal, and swallowing pattern.
Through a series of evidence-based exercises, the program addresses underlying muscle imbalances that contribute to snoring, sleep-disordered breathing, jaw pain, orthodontic relapse, and other related conditions. The goal is to restore optimal function, support airway health, and deliver long-term results.

Programe Includes:
1. Initial Assessment
I evaluate your oral and facial muscles, posture, breathing, and swallowing patterns. I also assess any dental concerns and take a thorough medical history. Photographs are taken to monitor your progress throughout treatment.
Initial assessments take approximately 1–1.5 hours.
2. Customised Treatment Plan
Based on my assessment, I create a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. Your plan will include exercises designed to strengthen or retrain the oral and facial muscles, based on the goals we identify during your initial consultation.
For more complex or long-standing conditions, such as temporomandibular joint disorder, facial pain, or sleep apnoea, additional sessions may be required to achieve your myofunctional goals.
3. Follow-Up and Progress Monitoring
Regular sessions are typically scheduled fortnightly over several months, with the average treatment period being around six months. During these sessions, I monitor your progress, adjust your exercises as needed, and provide feedback and guidance to help you stay on track.
Home Exercises
I’ll provide you with a personalised set of exercises to practise at home between sessions. This will usually include four exercises per session. Three active exercises are practised twice daily for approximately 5 minutes, along with one passive exercise practised for around 5–30 minutes per day.
Re-evaluation
At your 12th session, I reassess your myofunctional disorders and grade your progress to evaluate improvements in your symptoms and overall function.
