Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy focuses on correcting improper muscle function of the face, tongue, and mouth that can affect breathing, speech, swallowing, and dental alignment. At Dr. Y's Dental Lounge, this therapy is integrated into orthodontic and preventive dental care to address the root causes of many oral and facial issues.
Through guided exercises and structured therapy, myofunctional treatment helps retrain muscles to function correctly. It is beneficial for children and adults with issues such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, improper swallowing patterns, and jaw imbalance. By improving muscle coordination and oral posture, myofunctional therapy supports stable orthodontic results, better airway health, and overall facial harmony.
Treatments:
- Tongue posture correction
- Swallowing pattern correction
- Orofacial muscle exercises
- Breathing and airway improvement
- Orthodontic support for muscle function
- TMJ and jaw muscle coordination therapy
