Myofunctional therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment protocol that focuses on improving the function and coordination of the muscles of the face, mouth, and throat. This therapy is beneficial for individuals of all ages, from children to adults, and helps correct improper tongue and oral habits that can lead to various health issues. By using a series of exercises and techniques, it helps to re-educate the neuromuscular system, promoting optimal tongue position, improved breathing, swallowing, and overall oral health.
Myofunctional therapy is a powerful tool that can significantly improve your quality of life. If you're experiencing issues such as sleep apnea, chronic snoring, difficulty swallowing, or speech impediments, myofunctional therapy could be the solution you've been looking for. The therapy can also be beneficial for children who have developed certain oral habits, like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. By addressing these issues early on, myofunctional therapy can prevent future health problems and promote optimal facial growth and development.

Myofunctional therapy helps individuals achieve proper nasal breathing, which is essential for overall health. Nasal breathing enhances oxygen absorption, promotes proper facial development, and prevents sleep-related breathing disorders. With myofunctional therapy, you can break free from unhealthy mouth breathing habits and enjoy the many benefits of proper nasal breathing.
Speech clarity can be significantly improved with myofunctional therapy. The therapy focuses on optimizing the function of the tongue and facial muscles, which play a crucial role in articulation. By correcting tongue placement and strengthening the oral muscles, myofunctional therapy can help individuals overcome speech difficulties and communicate more effectively.
By promoting optimal tongue position and encouraging healthy oral habits, myofunctional therapy contributes to better oral health. It helps prevent conditions such as gum disease, tooth decay, and malocclusion by encouraging proper oral hygiene habits and reducing the risk of harmful oral habits like mouth breathing and tongue thrusting.
The first step in the myofunctional therapy process is an initial evaluation. During this session, Dr. Megan Girmscheid will assess your oral and facial muscle function, breathing patterns, and oral habits. This comprehensive evaluation allows her to identify any issues and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Once your personal treatment plan is established, you will begin your therapy sessions. These sessions typically involve a series of exercises designed to strengthen the tongue and facial muscles, correct improper swallowing patterns, and promote optimal tongue positioning. These exercises are typically simple and can be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
The last step in the myofunctional therapy process is progress monitoring. Dr. Megan Girmscheid will regularly assess your progress to ensure the therapy is effective and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. This ongoing support and guidance ensure you achieve the best possible results from your myofunctional therapy.
