What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional Therapy

(also known as Orofacial Myology and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy)

is a therapy designed to improve the function of the muscles of the face, tongue and mouth.

"Oro" means mouth and "Myo" means muscle.

It works to:

• improve breathing patterns-reducing mouth breathing and nasal congestion

• correct tongue posture and tongue thrust

• enhance chewing and swallowing function

• reduce snoring, poor sleep quality and symptoms of sleep apnea.
