Understanding How Myofunctional Therapy Can Work for You
Myofunctional Therapy uses neuromuscular re-patterning in order to create new habits for:
If you think about it, when your muscles are moving in harmony, the jaw can develop properly and create plenty of space for adult teeth. When they’re not moving in harmony, that’s when problems like crooked teeth, obstructed breathing, and even TMJ disorders develop. By creating new habits now through natural movements and sleep appliances, problems can be avoided without surgery. It may even eliminate the need for braces! This therapeutic method can also be used to correct problems that may have developed as a result of improper muscle function, such as muscle imbalance, orthodontic relapse, and more.
Myofunctional Therapy Can Help You Breathe and Sleep Better Too
Research shows that Myofunctional Therapy in Madison may also be an effective treatment option for sleep-disordered breathing in both children and adults. This relates to a group of potentially dangerous sleep conditions that can cause snoring or a reduction in airflow. We can help you live a life that’s free from snoring and snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
Myofunctional Therapy treatment is safe and relatively inexpensive. Patients at My Rivertown Dentist have found this to be a sensible alternative to treatments like the annoying CPAP (continuous positive airway) or invasive surgery.
