Pediatric Myofunctional Therapy – Improving Oral Function & Swallowing
What Is Myofunctional Therapy and When Might a Child Need It?
Myofunctional therapy is a treatment that focuses on correcting improper oral habits that can interfere with speech, swallowing, breathing, and overall oral health. This therapy targets the muscles of the face, mouth, and jaw to promote healthy, functional patterns. It improves oral health, promotes proper breathing, swallowing, and speech clarity, and can reduce symptoms of sleep apnea. It’s especially beneficial for those who suffer from jaw misalignment, chronic mouth breathing, or issues with swallowing.
“Since starting therapy, my child’s speech and swallowing have greatly improved, and they no longer struggle with mouth breathing”
Our 3 Step Process:
-
Initial Evaluation
A comprehensive evaluation of your or your child’s oral and facial muscles, posture, breathing, swallowing, and speech patterns
-
Personalized Plan
Develop a personalized treatment plan that includes specific exercises, tongue training, and lifestyle modifications
-
Tracked Progress
Ongoing sessions will track progress, adjust exercises, and ensure the therapy complements other treatments, such as orthodontics or speech therapy
