Let’s Get Physical
Are you confused about what Myofunctional Therapy is and what place it even has in our dental office in Madison? Relax, and let us help you figure it all out. Think of this as a type of physical therapy, much like you’re made to do post-surgery. This physical therapy is focused on your muscles that help control your mouth, face, and tongue. Through special exercises, we can alleviate pain and train your muscles for better breathing, speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Doesn’t that sound nice? If left untreated, a host of health issues could arise, such as:
At the root of Myofunctional Therapy is restoring proper breathing because it will, in turn, improve all of these health conditions we’ve mentioned here. It’s important to know that the four main goals of this kind of dental treatment are (1) nasal breathing, (2) lips closed, (3) tongue on the roof of your mouth, (4) and proper swallowing pattern.
Imagine relief through easy exercises that anyone can do at any age. Myofunctional Therapy is 100 percent safe, non-surgically invasive, and affordable. Imagine being a healthier you because there are no downsides to better breathing and swallowing.
