The saying goes, "The earlier, the better," but age is just a number for Myofunctional Therapy. Building healthy habits around how your face and mouth muscles function brings benefits at any age. So, don't worry; you and your family haven't missed the window to improve your oral health together.

‍Six Areas Where Myofunctional Therapy Can Benefit Adults:

1. Sleep: Chronic snorers experience improved sleep quality thanks to proper tongue posture and nasal breathing, both essential for a restful night's sleep.
2. Appearance: Enhance facial symmetry and reduce the appearance of a recessed chin and gummy smile by training proper tongue, lip, and jaw position. This can even create a natural "lift" effect.
3. Digestion: It all starts in the mouth! Proper chewing and swallowing is a part of growth, development and maintenance of the airway, symmetry of muscles, and is the beginning of digestion.
4. Mental Health: Our breathing patterns influence physical and mental well-being. Nasal breathing ensures better oxygenation, reduces anxiety and stress (often linked to shallow mouth breathing), and promotes better sleep quality, essential for mental health.
5. Head and Neck Pain: Incorrect tongue posture can lead to improper muscle function and overuse, resulting in pain. Myofunctional therapy helps alleviate this pain by retraining your muscles.
6. Smile: Myofunctional therapy can ensure that the results of orthodontic treatments like braces are long-lasting. It helps maintain proper oral posture, reducing the chances of teeth shifting back to unfavorable positions.

Myofunctional therapy goes beyond just improving oral and facial health. It can enhance your overall quality of life at any age. So why wait? Take the first step towards a healthier, happier family by starting your myofunctional therapy journey together today.
