Myofunctional therapy is a gentle and effective treatment that helps retrain the muscles of the face, tongue, and mouth to improve how we breathe, speak, swallow, and even rest our tongues. It uses simple exercises to correct habits like improper tongue posture or mouth breathing. This kind of therapy tends to work best for children under the age of 12, as their muscles and habits are still developing and easier to guide.
Key Goals:
- Correct tongue posture.
- Improve nasal breathing.
- Enhance swallowing patterns.
- Support proper facial muscle function.
The BioBloc MFT is a special type of orthodontic appliance used in Myofunctional Therapy (MFT). It's designed to help correct harmful oral habits, guide healthy facial development, and improve jaw alignment—especially in children, while their bones are still growing and changing.
