Myofunctional Therapy

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is painless and the exercises are relatively simple.  When certain muscles of the face are activated and functioning properly, other muscles will follow suit until proper coordination of the tongue and facial muscles is attained.  For success in this therapy, consistent exercise every day is necessary until the patient has corrected their improper muscle pattern.  It also takes commitment by the patient, family – and time.  Treatment usually consists of a regular program of exercises over a 6-12 month period, although treatment length may vary.
