Myofunctional Therapy in Chennai
Myofunctional Therapy in Chennai at The Bunny Teeth is an evidence-based neuromuscular re-education program designed to correct improper tongue posture, mouth breathing, reverse swallow, and oral habit dysfunctions in children and adults.
About the Procedure
Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) occur when facial muscles and the tongue do not function properly during resting, swallowing, or breathing. Common signs include low tongue posture, mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, speech clarity issues, and relapse after orthodontic braces.
Our specialized myofunctional therapy process involves customized physical exercises for the tongue, lips, and facial muscles. It helps establish proper palate-resting tongue posture, seal lip seal, and promote continuous nasal breathing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): 1) What age is best for myofunctional therapy? Children as young as 4 to 12 years benefit immensely, though adults can also retrain their facial muscles. 2) How long does therapy take? Most programs range from 4 to 12 months with weekly exercises.
