Myofunctional therapy retrains how the lips, tongue, and jaw work and rest. Families often come to us after a dentist, orthodontist, or doctor mentions things like mouth breathing, a tongue that pushes forward (tongue thrust), an open-mouth resting posture, or feeding and swallowing concerns.
These patterns can affect speech, eating, and oral development. We assess what’s actually going on and, when appropriate, use targeted exercises to build better tongue and lip habits. We work alongside your dentist or orthodontist when their involvement matters, because this works best as a team.
Frequently asked questions:
What problems can myofunctional therapy help with?
Mouth breathing, tongue thrust, forward tongue resting posture, and some feeding and speech-sound issues linked to oral muscle patterns.
Is this just for kids?
No. We see clients from age 2 to adult.
Did the dentist or orthodontist send you? Do you work with them?
Yes — we coordinate with dental and orthodontic providers, since some decisions (like devices or appliances) belong with them.
