Concerns Myofunctional Therapy May Help Address
-
Difficulty maintaining a relaxed, closed-lip posture or regularly breathing through the mouth during the day or while sleeping.
-
Frequent snoring, loud or disrupted breathing, or pauses in breathing during sleep that may interfere with restful sleep.
-
Increased effort to breathe during sleep, which may leave you feeling tired or unrested even after spending enough time in bed.
-
Ongoing exhaustion, reduced energy, or waking up tired despite getting what should be an adequate amount of sleep.
-
Habitual tightening of the jaw or grinding of the teeth during the day or night, sometimes accompanied by soreness or discomfort.
-
Jaw discomfort, clicking or popping, limited movement, locking, or persistent tension around the jaw joints and surrounding muscles.
-
Recurring tightness or discomfort in the muscles of the head, neck, and shoulders that may be associated with inefficient oral or breathing patterns.
-
Persistent nighttime bedwetting beyond the expected developmental age, which can sometimes occur alongside disrupted sleep or breathing concerns.
-
Difficulty concentrating, maintaining attention, or regulating behavior, particularly when poor-quality sleep or disrupted breathing may be contributing factors.
-
An atypical swallowing pattern in which the tongue presses forward against or between the teeth, potentially affecting dental alignment, speech, and orthodontic stability.
-
Preparation and follow-up therapy designed to improve tongue mobility, coordination, and oral muscle function before and after a tongue or lip tie release.
-
Inefficient breathing patterns, including chronic mouth breathing, may contribute to increased sympathetic nervous system activity and make it more difficult for the body to shift into a calm, regulated state.
-
Establishing healthy tongue posture, swallowing patterns, and oral resting habits may help support and maintain the results achieved through orthodontic treatment.
