Every smile tells a story at Miami Designer Smiles. With a focus on comprehensive dental care, we understand the importance of each treatment phase, including orthodontics and supporting therapies. One such special therapy that can significantly impact orthodontic success is Myofunctional Therapy.
What is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy addresses orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), conditions that affect the muscles in the face and mouth. The prevalence of OMDs is substantially high; up to 81 percent of children are affected. If these disorders are left untreated, they can affect maintaining and improving oral hygiene, jaw alignment, facial growth, and the success of orthodontic treatment.
The Role of Myofunctional Therapy in Orthodontic Success
Orthodontics involves the correction of teeth and jaw alignment, and the inputs of Myofunctional Therapy are essential to the outcome. Here’s why:
- Improved Posture: Myofunctional Therapy helps in the correction of resting tongue position, breathing patterns, swallowing, and chewing. These corrections result in improved facial posture and over time can aid in aligning the teeth and jaws properly.
- Better Habits: The therapy introduces exercises that encourage nasal breathing and discourage mouth breathing, thumb sucking, and other behaviors that can influence the alignment of teeth.
- Facial Development: By emphasizing proper tongue positioning and addressing related bad habits, Myofunctional Therapy supports natural facial development. This can help children achieve healthier, more aesthetically pleasing facial structures.
