Myofunctional therapy involves exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the tongue, throat, and face, which can help improve breathing patterns and reduce snoring or mild sleep apnea.
This therapy promotes proper tongue posture and nasal breathing, and can be particularly beneficial for individuals with weak or improperly functioning oral muscles.
At The Dental Sleep Centre, we may recommend myofunctional therapy as part of a broader treatment plan, either alone or alongside other interventions such as oral appliances or positional therapy. Through guided exercises and consistent practice, patients can experience improved muscle tone, better airway stability, and enhanced sleep quality over time.
