Orofacial myofunctional therapy is a treatment program that focuses on correcting improper function of the tongue and facial muscles. It involves exercises and techniques to retrain these muscles, promoting proper oral rest posture, oral phase swallow, and breathing habits.
Myofunctional therapy can benefit people of all ages with various issues, including:
Mouth breathing
Tongue thrust
Sleep apnea and snoring
Speech difficulties
TMJ disorders
Orthodontic relapse
The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual and their specific needs. Generally, a course of treatment lasts between 6 to 12 months, with sessions occurring weekly or bi-weekly. Consistent practice of exercises at home is crucial for success.
While myofunctional therapy can complement orthodontic treatment, it usually doesn't replace it entirely. However, addressing myofunctional issues before or during orthodontic treatment can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of relapse.
Myofunctional therapy is generally considered safe with minimal risks. Some patients may experience temporary muscle soreness from the exercises. It's important to work with a qualified therapist who can tailor the program to your specific needs and monitor your progress.

TESTIMONIAL & REVIEWS
"Good morning Shirley ~ I just wanted to reach out and thank you for that amazing article in the September RDH magazine. I do myofunctional therapy in an interdisciplinary airway dental office here in Los Alamitos California. (She is an affiliate of the Breathe Institute.) It's so exciting. Dr. A.'s tongue tie releases cranial sacral/chiropractic therapy, TMJ, and breathing. It's an amazing center. I've been a clinical dental hygienist for going on 40 years, yikes! 😳 Ready to scale back clinical stuff. 😉 I hope you have a beautiful weekend and I would love to hear about your practice."
