Myofunctional therapy is an effective and natural therapeutic method, used in a preventive setting in both adults and children. Since the tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body and is poorly positioned, its effects can be potentially harmful during growth, and even in adulthood, on breathing, posture,  and the positioning of teeth.

Knowing that almost half of school-aged children have swallowing problems, it is possible to simply correct the position of the tongue at rest, the tone of the tongue and facial muscles. This allows us to improve nasal breathing, swallowing, sleep, preventing snoring, preventing dry mouth, and even improve behavior in children.

It is a recommended treatment in the presence of problems such as mouth breathing, atypical swallowing (swallowing by placing the tongue against the teeth, rather than the palate), the incorrect position of the tongue at rest, lack of tone of the tongue and facial muscles.

The consequences of these problems can lead to muscle pain in the head, temples, neck and joint, teeth grinding and tooth malposition (orthodontics). In adults, good nasal breathing is essential. Breathing in the mouth causes a dry mouth (xerostomia). As the mouth is no longer protected by saliva, xerostomia can lead to gum disease (periodontitis), tooth decay, asthma and can even lead to sleep apnea.
