Myofunctional Therapy

Treatment plans vary based on each child's goals and progress. Your therapist will discuss recommendations during the evaluation.

While Parkview primarily focuses on pediatric care, myofunctional therapy can benefit individuals of many ages. Ask our team whether this service is appropriate for your needs.

No. While many children with tongue ties benefit from myofunctional therapy, it can also support a wide range of oral function, breathing, swallowing, and muscle coordination concerns.

Yes. Therapy is often recommended both before and after a tongue tie release to retrain muscle patterns, improve mobility, and help children achieve long-term success.

Not always. Every child is different. Our team completes a comprehensive evaluation and works collaboratively to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Myofunctional therapy may help children with mouth breathing, tongue thrust, oral muscle weakness, swallowing concerns, tongue tie recovery, airway development concerns, and oral habits that affect growth and function.

Myofunctional therapy helps improve the function of the muscles of the mouth, tongue, lips, cheeks, and face. It supports healthy breathing, swallowing, oral posture, feeding, speech, and long-term development.
