Did you know how you breathe can affect your sleep, focus, and even facial development?

Breathing through your nose—rather than your mouth—does so much more than you might think:

🌿 Filters, warms, and humidifies the air you breathe
🧠 Boosts oxygen uptake and brain function
😴 Supports quality, restorative sleep
😁 Protects oral health by keeping saliva balanced
🫶 Encourages proper jaw and facial development
🧘‍♀️ Promotes a calm and balanced nervous system

If you or your child struggles with mouth breathing, snoring, or sleep issues, myofunctional therapy can help retrain the muscles for healthy nasal breathing.

✨ Breathe better. Sleep better. Live better.

✨ Incredible Results After Myofunctional Therapy + Functional Frenuloplasty ✨

The first image shows the patient prior to therapy, with noticeable oral and palatal tension.
After completing myofunctional therapy and a functional frenuloplasty, she experienced remarkable improvements — including significant tension relief, enhanced tongue mobility, and better oropharyngeal function.

As a professional singer, she now reports being able to reach higher notes with ease and sustain them longer due to improved tongue and soft palate coordination and reduced muscular restriction.

This case beautifully highlights how optimizing oral function can positively impact both airway health and vocal performance. 🎵💫

🌙 Did you know that how your child breathes and uses their mouth can affect more than just their smile?

Myofunctional therapy helps kids retrain the muscles of the face, tongue, and airway — and the results can reach far beyond oral health.

✨ It can help improve:
👃 Mouth breathing
💤 Snoring or restless sleep
😴 Daytime fatigue or trouble focusing
🦷 Teeth crowding or open-mouth posture
🗣️ Speech and swallowing difficulties
🚽 Even nighttime bed-wetting!

When the muscles of the mouth and airway work properly, kids often sleep deeper, breathe better, and feel their best. 💪

💬 If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it might be time to explore myofunctional therapy!

The tongue plays a key role in guiding proper facial growth and development.
When it rests on the roof of the mouth and moves well, it helps form wide dental arches, supports airway health, and promotes balanced facial structure. 🦷👃

But when tongue function is limited — whether due to a restricted range of motion (like in a tongue tie), low muscle tone, etc — it can impact:
🔹 Jaw and facial development
🔹 Tooth alignment
🔹 Breathing and sleep
🔹 Long-term oral function

At The Breathe Institute, we take a functional approach — addressing the root causes to support healthy growth from the inside out.
