In many cases, myofunctional therapy works hand-in-hand with other early interceptive orthodontic treatments. For children with developing bite problems or jaw alignment issues, incorporating this therapy early can reduce or even eliminate the need for more complex orthodontic work later on.
Myofunctional therapy also plays a preventive role. Children who develop healthy oral habits are far less likely to need treatments like dental fillings or crowns due to decay from mouth breathing or improper oral function. And because poor oral posture can impact airway development, addressing these issues early helps promote restful sleep and overall health.
At Bee Happy Pediatric Dentistry, we believe in empowering families with tools to support lifelong wellness. That’s why we offer a full range of preventive dental services alongside specialized therapies like myofunctional training.
If you’ve noticed your child snoring, breathing through their mouth, or struggling with speech, it could be more than just a phase. Myofunctional therapy could make all the difference — and we’re here to help you every step of the way.
