Myofunctional Therapy

Breathe Easier and Feel Fresher

Myofunctional Therapy at Frenchtown Dental

We’re excited to introduce you to Myofunctional Therapy, a holistic, non-invasive approach that can make a real difference in your overall health and well-being. This therapy focuses on retraining and strengthening the muscles in your mouth and fac. These key players help you with essential functions like chewing, swallowing, speaking, and breathing.

Have you found yourself dealing with mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, or snoring? Myofunctional Therapy offers simple and effective solutions that lead to lasting results and increased satisfaction in life.

What is Myofunctional Therapy?

It’s a set of exercises that are designed to improve how your oral and facial muscles work together. (Aka the muscles that help you do all of the great things like chewing and smiling.) These exercises are gentle, easy to learn and execute, and tailored to your unique needs. Over time, you will notice an improvement with your breathing, sleep, posture, and even the way your face looks and feels. You should ask us about this therapy if you have experienced or think you are experiencing:

How Does Myofunctional Therapy Help?

The benefits of Myofunctional Therapy go beyond your mouth and smile—it can positively impact your entire body and even boost your confidence. These muscles are so critical to our every day basic needs, so finding harmony and balance in them is essential.

Good Airflow, Great Sleep, Healthy Life

Find your self wanting to improve these things in your life?

Breathe Easier and Feel Fresher

If you are someone who tends to breathe out of their mouth, you might experience dry mouth, bad breath, or even more frequent dental problems. Myofunctional Therapy trains you to breathe through your nose instead, which promotes healthier teeth and gums, reduces dryness, and supports better overall health.

Swallow Comfortably and Naturally

Did you know that even improper swallowing patterns can lead to dental misalignment, jaw pain, and even discomfort when eating. By retraining your swallowing muscles, you can improve your dental health and make everyday actions like eating and drinking more comfortable.

Sleep Better, Wake Refreshed

If snoring or mild sleep apnea is keeping you (and your loved ones) up at night, Myofunctional Therapy can help. By strengthening the muscles that support your airway, it reduces snoring and improves airflow, leading to deeper, more restful sleep.

Enhance Posture and Balance

Muscle imbalances in your face and neck can affect your posture and even your appearance. Myofunctional Therapy helps restore balance, improving how you carry yourself and enhancing facial symmetry for a healthier, more confident look.

Enjoy Long-Term Benefits

The habits you develop through Myofunctional Therapy stick with you. With consistent practice, you’ll notice improvements that last a lifetime—better breathing, healthier teeth and gums, improved sleep, and more.
