Snoring in Adults and Children.

Do You or Your Child Snore?

Snoring isn’t “just snoring” or “sleeping really well.” It may be a sign that the muscles of the mouth, tongue, lips, and throat aren’t working together efficiently during sleep. Myofunctional therapy can help improve the way these muscles function, support better oral posture, nasal breathing, and airway function.

How Can Myofunctional Therapy Help Snoring?

During myofunctional therapy, we will work on:

• Proper tongue resting posture — helping the tongue learn to rest gently against the palate rather  than sitting low in the mouth.
• Lip seal — strengthening the muscles needed to comfortably keep the lips together at rest.
• Nasal breathing — encouraging nasal breathing patterns when appropriate.
• Oral and throat  muscle function — improving strength and coordination of the muscles involved in breathing and swallowing.
• Healthy swallowing patterns — helping the tongue and surrounding muscles work together to swallow properly.

When the tongue rests low in the mouth, the lips remain open, or nasal breathing is difficult, the muscles of the mouth and airway may not be functioning optimally. For some patients, improving oral and orofacial muscle tone may help reduce snoring and support better sleep.
