Myofunctional Therapy at Bay Area Dental, Airway & Sleep

Unlocking Your Body’s Potential

Your tongue does more than you might realize. It plays a critical role in breathing, swallowing, and even the way your face develops. Myofunctional therapy is a specialized approach to retraining your tongue and oral muscles, helping you achieve better health and function at any age.

What Is

Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is like physical therapy for your tongue. By guiding the tongue to proper resting and functional positions, myofunctional therapy addresses issues like improper swallowing, mouth breathing, and misalignment. It’s a proactive way to improve oral health, breathing, and overall wellness.
