Therapy & Exercise
Myofunctional therapy is a structured exercise program that retrains the muscles of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and face to function correctly at rest and during swallowing and breathing. By correcting dysfunctional oral habits at their source, therapy supports better jaw development, improved airway health, and longer-lasting orthodontic results.
How Myofunctional Therapy Works
Each therapy program is tailored to the individual patient and delivered through a progressive series of targeted exercises. These exercises retrain the tongue to rest against the palate, encourage nasal breathing, correct the swallowing pattern, and strengthen the lip seal. Performed consistently at home between visits, the exercises work alongside any orthodontic or Myosa appliance treatment to reinforce correct muscle function and help stabilise results over time.
- Retrains tongue posture to rest correctly against the palate.
- Strengthens the lip seal to support nasal breathing.
- Corrects dysfunctional swallowing patterns and tongue thrust.
- Supports and stabilises orthodontic and appliance treatment outcomes.
Who Benefits from Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy is suitable for both children and adults who have oral habits or muscle patterns that affect their teeth, jaw, breathing, or sleep. It is particularly valuable when used alongside orthodontic treatment to address the underlying causes of misalignment and reduce the risk of relapse.
- Mouth breathing, snoring, or poor quality sleep at any age.
- Tongue thrust, open bite, or persistent lisping in children.
- Orthodontic relapse or teeth shifting after braces or aligners.
- Temporomandibular joint discomfort linked to muscle imbalances.
What to Expect During Your Therapy Program
Your first visit includes a thorough assessment of your oral muscle function, breathing pattern, tongue posture, and swallowing habit. Based on this evaluation, we design a personalised exercise program with clear instructions for daily home practice.
Follow-up visits are scheduled every four to six weeks to review progress, introduce new exercises, and coordinate with any ongoing orthodontic treatment. Most programs run for six to twelve months, with exercises taking only a few minutes each day. Consistent practice is key — the more regularly the exercises are performed, the faster and more lasting the results.
