Did you know that swallowing correctly and tongue position is the foundation for aligned teeth and prevention of orthodontic relapse?
Changes in swallowing pattern can be a result of compensation mechanisms that often begin early in life (Maspero, et al. 2014). Factors affecting these swallowing changes can include learning to swallow around a bottle teat, swallowing with a dummy or a sucked thumb.
Myofunctional therapy to help treat sleep apnoea
Sleep apnoea, or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common breathing disorder which is characterised by a complete cessation of breathing during sleep for a period of time before breathing restarts again. It is usually caused by an obstruction in the airway when the muscles of the throat, soft palate and tongue relax during sleep. Although sleep apnoea does not usually cause death, if it is not well managed it can contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure and increased risk of accidents due to daytime sleepiness (Rueda, et al., 2020).
