You might be asking yourself why you should consider Myofunctional Therapy. The answer is simple: addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just the symptoms.
Dysfunctional habits like improper tongue posture and mouth breathing can contribute to more significant health problems, such as obstructive sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, or chronic sinus issues. By correcting these at their source, Myofunctional Therapy offers long-term health benefits.
You might be surprised to learn about the breadth of individuals who can benefit from Myofunctional Therapy. Adults and children alike can see improvements. Children with speech impairments, obstructive sleep apnea, thumb-sucking habits, or orthodontic issues often experience positive changes. Adults dealing with sleep disorders, jaw pain, or chronic oral health problems also find that Myofunctional Therapy significantly enhances their quality of life. If any of this sounds like you or someone you know, Myofunctional Therapy could be an excellent step forward.
At Boise Integrative Dentistry, we tailor Myofunctional Therapy to fit your needs. Our experienced therapists will thoroughly evaluate your oral and facial muscles to determine any dysfunctions. Following this assessment, we develop a customized therapy plan with exercises tailored to your needs.
Our therapy sessions are engaging and educational, and we ensure they are easy to follow. We design them to be comfortably integrated into your daily routine. Whether it’s maintaining optimal tongue posture, retraining you to breathe nasally, or executing specific exercises, our approach is hands-on and supportive at every step.
The benefits of Myofunctional Therapy go beyond the mouth. Correcting oral function can improve sleep quality, reduce dental problems, improve facial symmetry, and enhance overall health. Many patients report boosted energy levels and reduced stress-related symptoms due to improved respiratory function and decreased facial tension.
Addressing oral-facial dysfunctions early in children, particularly, can lead to better academic performance and behavioral improvements. Proper tongue and lip function are critical during growth years to avoid future complications.
