People of all ages can experience orofacial dysfunction. Habits can be hard to break. A Myofunctional Therapist can be instrumental in helping you learn to breathe, chew and swallow, in a healthy way. A consultation can be very valuable. General health, speech, orthodontic, dental health, swallowing and breathing issues may persist for many years. Therapy can help you make necessary changes that will benefit you throughout life.
My goal is to build awareness and strengthen the oral and facial muscles to meet these important goals:
1) Getting the tongue resting in its proper position
2) Keeping the lips closed when the mouth is not in use,
3) Optimizing healthy chewing
4) Utilizing a proper initial-phase swallowing pattern.
When these tasks are accomplished habitually, troublesome symptoms are alleviated, and issues related to speech, TMJ/jaw problems, sleep apnea, orthodontics, digestion, etc. are more easily managed.
