Myofunctional Orthodontics Treatment for Adults

Understanding Myofunctional Disorders

Even though some of the symptoms linked with myofunctional diseases may not appear alarming, they might lead to lifelong issues such as:

  • Misaligned teeth and jaws
  • TMJ, regular headaches and neck pain
  • Lack of proper sleep
  • Stomach pain and discomfort linked to poor digestion

What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy in Burlington is an approach to dental care that aims to treat the underlying causes of orthodontic problems by focusing on the role of breathing disorders, muscle function, and oral habits that influence facial growth and dental development. Instead of merely addressing misaligned teeth, myofunctional orthodontics aims to enhance the overall function of the oral and facial muscles. This approach supports proper breathing, swallowing, and tongue posture. By focusing on these fundamental issues, this treatment delivers lasting results and can contribute to better overall health and well-being.

Some of the treatment options that may be recommended include:

  • Exercises to strengthen oral and facial muscles and improve their function.
  • Special oral appliances designed to guide and correct oral habits.
  • Techniques to promote nasal breathing and correct mouth breathing.
