Myofunctional therapy focuses on the muscles of the tongue, face, and airway. Simple exercises are used to teach these muscles to function and rest in their optimal positions. By improving muscle coordination and tone, we can identify and address root causes to common problems like mouth breathing, snoring, jaw pain (TMJD), narrow arches and crowded teeth.

For children, therapy supports proper growth by guiding the muscles that influence jaw development and airway formation. This helps create wider arches, healthier breathing patterns, and a strong foundation for sleep and overall growth and development.

For adults, therapy works to stabilize the airway and retrain the muscles to work together efficiently, helping to reduce tension, improve sleep quality, and support long-term stability in the jaw and airway.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, myofunctional therapy addresses the muscle patterns that influence oral function and breathing, helping create lasting, functional change over time.

Myofunctional therapy is part of a multidisciplinary team of care. In order to achieve the best results possible, we partner with amazing providers in the area. I have recommendations for body workers, dentists, orthodontists and tongue tie release providers who are airway focused and highly trained so that we can make sure that you get the best care possible.
