How are Myofunctional disorders corrected?

Myofunctional Therapy/Orofacial Myology
Exercise techniques are used to educate and synchronize the muscles associated with swallowing and the postural position of the tongue, lips, and face.

Dental Habit Appliances
Tongue cribs/tongue appliances are dental devices used to block the tongue, however they do not train muscles. It is suggested that if an appliance is used some type of muscle training be used as well

*Because of the difficulty in habituation of new patterns, a combination of therapy and an appliance may be used.
