Myofunctional therapy is a customized program of gentle exercises designed to improve how the muscles of the mouth and face work together. These muscles play a vital role in breathing, chewing, swallowing, speaking, and maintaining a healthy oral environment.
When oral muscles do not function properly, they can contribute to mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, orthodontic relapse, chronic gum inflammation, jaw tension, jaw tension and sleep-related concerns.
Myofunctional therapy may be helpful if you or your child experiences:
A comprehensive evaluation can determine if oral muscle function is contributing to these concerns.
Regular dental exams allow us to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health so we can catch concerns early.
Cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone cannot fully address.
We evaluate the health of your gums to look for signs of inflammation, infection, bleeding, or periodontal disease.
Our team helps patients understand home care, nutrition, and hygiene habits that support healthier teeth and gums.
Providing expert dental care in the entire Maine with advanced technology in a comfortable and friendly setting. Your smile is our priority!
