What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy focuses on correcting tongue positions and breathing patterns that can affect facial development and airway health. By teaching proper tongue placement, swallowing patterns, and breathing techniques, we help guide facial growth and development in children while improving airway function. This therapy can be crucial in preventing or addressing issues like mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, and speech difficulties.

Improves Oral Development

Proper tongue positioning and function guide facial growth and development in children. These improvements can prevent the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later.

Top 10 reasons to Get an Airway Test for Sleep Apnea

1) Loud Snoring

It’s not just annoying, it’s often the first warning sign.

2) Daytime Fatigue

Feeling exhausted after a full night’s sleep? Your airflow might be disrupted.

3) Morning Headaches

Low oxygen overnight = painful wake-ups.

4) Gasping or Choking

Sudden wake-ups or shortness of breath aren’t normal.

5) Trouble Focusing

Brain fog, poor memory, and lack of focus often trace back to sleep.

6) Mood Changes

Anxiety, irritability, or low mood can be linked to poor-quality sleep.

7) High Blood Pressure

Untreated sleep apnea stresses your heart and circulatory system.

8) Oral & Jaw Health Issues

The structure of your airway affects your teeth, jaw, and breathing.

9) Hormone & Weight Imbalance

Sleep apnea can throw off metabolism, cortisol, and even blood sugar.

10) Peace of Mind

If you have a few or more symptoms schedule a consultation with Dr. Kight!
