Overview

Myofunctional therapy is a targeted, exercise-based program that strengthens and balances the muscles of the face, mouth, tongue, lips, and jaw to restore natural strength, coordination, and resting posture. Through customized daily exercises, it helps eliminate harmful habits like mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and incorrect swallowing patterns that can affect breathing, speech, eating, sleep, and facial development. The primary goals are to establish effortless nasal breathing, correct tongue posture, and proper lip seal for lasting oral and facial harmony. ​​
