Myofunctional Therapy and Orthodontics

Do you have crooked teeth and desire a straighter, healthier smile? Myofunctional therapy and orthodontics in East Fremantle, WA, may be the solution you’re looking for! At Dental on George, we offer traditional braces, Invisalign® and other therapies to retrain the muscles of the mouth and face to promote proper tongue posture, breathing patterns and swallowing habits. This combination helps improve the stability and long-term success of orthodontic treatment.

Every smile is unique, and that’s why we believe your orthodontic journey should be, too. Straight teeth are just part of the story—we believe your smile should also feel great and function properly. That’s where myofunctional therapy and orthodontics come in. We take a holistic approach to ensure your treatment gives you the beautiful smile you desire and supports your oral health. It’s all about finding what works best for you! 

What Is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy focuses on retraining the muscles of the face, mouth and tongue to function correctly and comfortably. Many dental issues, such as crooked teeth or misaligned jaws, can be caused or worsened by improper muscle function. Myofunctional therapy supports the effectiveness of orthodontic treatments like braces and Invisalign.

Benefits of Orthodontics and Myofunctional Therapy

When combined, myofunctional therapy and orthodontics offer a holistic approach to improving your smile and overall oral health. Here are three key benefits.

Better Long-Term Results

Myofunctional therapy helps orthodontic treatments like braces and Invisalign deliver more stable, long-lasting results. Proper muscle function reduces the risk of teeth shifting back after treatment, making your new smile last longer.

Improved Breathing and Sleep

Myofunctional therapy works on correcting habits that can affect your breathing, such as improper tongue posture or mouth breathing. Combined with orthodontics, these treatments can improve airway function and lead to better breathing.

Enhanced Facial Aesthetics

Myofunctional therapy can improve the overall balance and harmony of your facial features. Whether you're using braces or clear aligners, correcting bite issues and muscle habits can enhance the appearance of your smile and your face.
