Myofunctional Therapy Could Be the Solution!

Myofunctional therapy is an evidence-based form of treatment that addresses the tongue and facial muscles. This type of therapy can help improve the function of these muscles, as well as improve overall oral health. Myofunctional therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, and teeth grinding. It can also help improve symptoms of GERD and poor swallow function. Myofunctional therapy is typically performed by a certified speech pathologist or myofunctional therapist. The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of the condition being treated. However, most people see noticeable improvements after just a few sessions. If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional medical treatments, myofunctional therapy may be right for you.

What are the Benefits of Myofunctional Therapy?

Our experienced team can evaluate your symptoms and advise you on your particular situation.  After treatment, there are many potential benefits:

  • Improve the appearance of the face by reducing wrinkles and improving muscle tone
  • Increase functionality of the muscles used for eating, drinking, and speaking
  • Reduce the risk of developing problems such as TMJ and sleep apnea
  • Help people who have difficulty swallowing due to neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease
