Uncover the Path to Optimal Oral Health!

Your tongue, lips, and jaw play pivotal roles in essential functions, from speaking to eating. Myofunctional therapy offers a solution to address and correct disorders in these areas. Dive deep into how Pearline Health can guide you through this specialized training, enhancing your oral health and overall well-being.

What Are Myofunctional Disorders?

These disorders emerge when the position and function of your lips, jaw, or tongue negatively affect the development and function of your mouth. The correct alignment of these parts is crucial, as misplacements can disrupt routine actions, altering everything from facial structure to the ease of chewing.

Discovering Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional therapy is a tailored journey. Recognizing that each patient’s disorder and needs are unique, we craft an individualized plan for everyone.
A primary aim of this therapy is to regularize the tongue’s resting posture. Should there be habits exacerbating the disorder, like thumb-sucking, rectifying those becomes a treatment priority.
Alongside our sessions, we might suggest exercises to be practiced at home, amplifying muscle strength. This can involve exercises for proper swallowing, correct breathing techniques, and tongue resting.
As therapy progresses and orofacial muscles are retrained, heightened muscle awareness is cultivated. The results? Clearer speech, improved eating habits, and enhanced sleep. Throughout the therapeutic journey, regular evaluations ensure that the treatment remains on the right path, addressing all concerns.
