Myofunctional Therapy: A Holistic Approach to Oral Health

---

Myofunctional therapy is a specialized program designed to optimize the function of the oral and facial muscles. By correcting improper oral habits and promoting healthy oral posture, this therapy enhances overall facial development and improves various health issues, including sleep apnea, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), and orthodontic outcomes.

1. Improved Breathing: Encourages nasal breathing, essential for overall health.
2. Enhanced Jaw Alignment: Supports proper jaw alignment, reducing strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
3. Better Sleep Quality: Complements oral device therapy for sleep apnea, leading to more restful sleep.
4. Support for Orthodontic Treatment: Promotes correct tongue posture and oral habits for better orthodontic results.
5. Reduced Snoring: Alleviates snoring by improving airway function.
6. Improved Speech and Swallowing: Enhances articulation and swallowing, especially in children.

At Goodnight El Paso, we believe in a comprehensive approach to treatment. Myofunctional therapy serves as an effective adjunct to Mandibular Oral Devices (MAD) and oral device therapy for TMD:

• Complementary Treatment: While MADs reposition the jaw to maintain an open airway during sleep, myofunctional therapy enhances muscle function and oral posture, improving treatment effectiveness.
• Holistic Health: This combination not only addresses sleep apnea and TMD symptoms but also enhances overall oral health, function, and comfort.
• Personalized Care: Our experienced team tailors both therapies to fit your unique needs, ensuring optimal outcomes.
