South FL Myofunctional Therapy, based in Miami, has been practicing myofunctional therapy since 2011 working in conjunction with Dentist, Orthodontics, Pediatricians, TMJ Doctors, and Sleep Doctors to reduce symptoms of sleep apnea. Myofunctional Therapy are exercise programs to repattern oral and facial muscles. Exercises are used to correct tongue, dental, and lip resting postures as well as to develop correct chewing/swallowing patterns and eliminating oral facial habits. Therapy aims to recapture a normal freeway space dimension by eliminating deleterious sucking habits and teaching a closed lip nasal breathing posture. Myofunctional disorders involve behaviors and patterns created by inappropriate muscle function and incorrect habits involving the tongue, lips and jaws. Myofunctional therapy may be recommended with a goal of facilitating normal growth and development leading to a stable oral environment.
