Myofunctional Therapy & Airway Orthodontics

Understanding the therapy

How it works

Oral Myofunctional Therapy is physical therapy for your mouth, tongue, and face muscles. Under the guidance of therapist Richard Bennett, we train patients on proper tongue posture, lip seal, and nasal breathing. Dysfunctional habits (like mouth breathing or tongue thrusting) lead to crooked teeth, snoring, and sleep apnea. By strengthening these muscles, we expand airways, improve facial growth, and achieve long-term orthodontic stability.

Key benefits

  • Corrects mouth breathing and tongue posture
  • Relieves myofascial pain and snoring
  • Assesses airway constraints
  • Promotes stable, natural dental alignment
