Supporting Healthy Breathing, Airway Function, and Restorative Sleep
Myofunctional Therapy is a proven, non-invasive approach that focuses on improving the function of the muscles of the mouth, tongue, and face. At Silent Night Therapy, we use Myofunctional Therapy to help address the underlying causes of sleep-disordered breathing, poor airway function, and disrupted sleep — naturally.
When the muscles of the mouth and tongue are not working properly, they can contribute to airway obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, and sleep apnea. Myofunctional Therapy helps retrain these muscles to support healthy breathing, better sleep, and whole-body wellness.
Breathing is not only controlled by the lungs and diaphragm. The position and function of the tongue, lips, jaw, and facial muscles directly affect the size and stability of the airway.
When these muscles are properly toned and positioned, they help maintain an open airway during sleep. When they are weak, uncoordinated, or improperly positioned, the airway can narrow or collapse, contributing to:
Myofunctional Therapy addresses these functional issues by improving muscle strength, coordination, and resting posture.
Individuals with myofunctional dysfunction may experience a wide range of symptoms, including:
Myofunctional Therapy involves a customized program of exercises and behavioral techniques designed to retrain the muscles of the mouth and airway. Therapy focuses on:
Over time, these changes can improve airway stability, reduce breathing disturbances during sleep, and support healthier sleep patterns.
During sleep, muscle tone naturally decreases. If the muscles surrounding the airway are not functioning properly, this relaxation can allow the airway to collapse or become obstructed.
This is why Myofunctional Therapy is increasingly recognized as an important component of airway-focused sleep care. By improving muscle tone and function, therapy helps:
At Silent Night Therapy, Myofunctional Therapy is used to address these issues at their source.
Research has shown that myofunctional therapy can play a supportive role in the management of obstructive sleep apnea, particularly when combined with other treatments.
