Myofunctional therapy is a non-invasive program that retrains the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue to function properly. With a personalized set of exercises, it corrects habits like mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and improper swallowing—helping patients breathe better, sleep deeper, and support long-term oral health.
Myofunctional therapy helps:
Children with habits like mouth breathing, thumb sucking, or speech issues
Teens undergoing braces or Invisalign
Adults with snoring, TMJ pain, or fatigue from poor sleep
Our Surrey clinic welcomes all ages looking to improve oral habits, airway health, and facial development.
Absolutely! Myofunctional therapy is safe, gentle, and even fun for children. It helps correct early habits that impact growth—like open-mouth posture, poor sleep, or prolonged pacifier use. Early intervention leads to better long-term outcomes.
The first session includes:
An in-depth oral function and habit assessment
Photos and digital screening
Review of posture, breathing, and tongue position
A personalized therapy roadmap
We’ll explain everything clearly and answer your questions so you know exactly what to expect.
Treatment typically runs 4–6 months, with sessions scheduled every 2–4 weeks. Consistent at-home practice is key. For children, progress is often faster with parental support. Our Surrey team will guide you every step of the way.
Therapy addresses:
Tongue thrusting
Mouth breathing
Improper swallowing
Low tongue posture
Thumb sucking or pacifier reliance
Speech distortions (like lisps)
These habits can cause dental and developmental issues if left untreated.
Yes! Myofunctional therapy can improve sleep by:

Promoting nasal breathing
Reducing snoring and sleep-disordered breathing
It’s effective for both children and adults and often complements CPAP or orthodontic care.
Yes. While braces align the teeth, myofunctional therapy trains the muscles to keep them there. It supports long-term results by fixing tongue posture, breathing, and swallowing patterns that could otherwise cause teeth to shift again.
