Myofunctional therapy is an exercise-based therapy used to treat muscle disorders of the face, neck, head, and mouth and help with dental occlusion and temporomandibular disorders.

Proper breathing is critical to a person’s health. Having an upper airway that lets oxygen flow freely into and out of the lungs is necessary for overall well-being.

Inspiratory flow limitation, or IFL, occurs during sleep when airflow is restricted due to the relaxation of the tongue and soft palate moving them nearer to the back of the airway. As the airway narrows, the rate of air allowed to pass through is limited.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly starts and stops during sleep. It occurs when the throat muscles intermittently relax and block the upper airway during sleep. Some symptoms of Sleep Apnea are snoring, daytime sleepiness, headaches, irritability, anxiety, depression, memory loss, gastric reflux, and high blood pressure.
