Breathe Better!

A Main Goal of Myofunctional Therapy is to Establish Full-Time Nasal Breathing: 


Nasal Breathing is less tiring than mouth breathing, better for oral health, digestion, and more thoroughly oxygenates our brains and bodies. 

Our noses are a natural filtering mechanism: Breathing through the nose filters out airborne pollen, bacteria, and dust particles. Because of this, people find that learning to breathe through their nose often decreases symptoms of allergies and asthma.


Sleep Better!

Myofunctional Therapy can be a valuable part of treatment for relief from Sleep Disordered Breathing, Sleep Apnea or UARS.


Sleep Apnea, UARS, and " Sleep Disordered Breathing," are being diagnosed at alarming rates in both adults AND children. Some of the common symptoms are snoring, low energy, poor memory, and falling asleep at inappropriate times. 


We also now know that for many children suffering from symptoms of ADHD, the ROOT CAUSE is often Sleep - Breathing Disorders.


An important, published, peer-reviewed study showed patients receiving Myofunctional Therapy, in addition to medical therapies, improved their Apnea/Hypopnea Index an average of 50% more in adults, and over 62% more in children!
