About
Myofunctional
Therapy
Myofunctional Therapy is a form of physical therapy designed to address the function and alignment of the muscles involved in speaking, chewing, swallowing, and breathing. It aims to improve the efficiency and coordination of these muscles.
Myofunctional Disorders are any disorders of the oral and facial muscles that affect proper oral resting position and function.
The main goals of a myofunctional therapy program are to:
Correct tongue posture
Achieve full-time nasal breathing (day/night)
Strengthen the lips to achieve adequate lip seal (day/night)
Correct swallowing dysfunction
