What Is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy is an exercise training program for the use of muscles surrounding the face, mouth, and tongue. Through this personalized program the appropriate muscles are targeted and strengthened to achieve a better range of motion, sleep hygiene, and oral habits. The muscles strengthened through these exercises are then used to evaluate and determine if a patient is a candidate for a frenectomy.
