What are the Goals of Myofunctional Therapy

By training individuals to breathe through their noses instead of their mouths, myofunctional therapy helps improve airway resistance and reduce the risk of complications like sleep apnea.

Proper tongue positioning can help maintain an open airway and support optimal jaw alignment, which is crucial for overall respiratory health.

By guiding muscle function, myofunctional therapy can contribute to healthier facial growth patterns, which can further improve airway space.

The therapy addresses habits like thumb sucking or lip biting that can negatively impact oral posture and airway function.
