Myofunctional Treatment/Therapy in Maple, Brampton East & West, ON

Strengthening Oral Muscles for Healthier Growth

Myofunctional treatment focuses on how the tongue, lips, cheeks, and facial muscles work together. These muscles play a major role in breathing, swallowing, speech, jaw growth, and the stability of orthodontic results. At Align Orthodontics, we provide myofunctional treatment/therapy near you to help children develop healthy oral habits and proper muscle function.

What Is Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional therapy in Maple, Brampton East & West, uses guided exercises and habit correction to improve the way oral and facial muscles work. Many orthodontic and airway issues begin with poor muscle patterns such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, improper swallowing, or low tongue posture.
