Are You a Candidate for Myofunctional Therapy?

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders can present differently across the lifespan. What may seem like unrelated symptoms can often be connected through airway health, breathing patterns, tongue posture, and oral muscle function.

Take a look at the graphic above. Do any of these sound familiar?

Things like mouth breathing, teeth grinding, snoring, messy or noisy eating, thumb sucking, difficulty swallowing pills, drooling, speech concerns, picky eating, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, sleep breathing disorders, or needing braces more than once can all be indicators of underlying myofunctional dysfunction.

Many people ask us the same question
“Is myofunctional therapy right for me or my child?”

At Myofunctional Spot, we offer comprehensive evaluations where we assess structure, function, airway health, oral habits, and symptoms to develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.

If you are unsure where to start, I created a Self Screener to help you learn more about how your symptoms may relate to orofacial myofunctional disorders.

If you identify 3 or more symptoms, further assessment may be warranted.

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above and want to learn more, the self screener is a great place to start.

Your mouth is constantly communicating with the rest of your body.

Most people only think about teeth… but the tongue, lips, breathing patterns, and swallow play a massive role in overall health and development.

When these functions are not working the way they are designed to, your mouth may start sending signals.

Here are 5 things your mouth might be trying to tell you:

1️⃣ Your tongue doesn’t have enough space
Signs can include tongue scalloping, teeth crowding, or a tongue that rests low in the mouth.

2️⃣ You may be breathing through your mouth instead of your nose
Chronic mouth breathing can impact sleep quality, facial development, and airway health.

3️⃣ Your swallow pattern may be compensating
Many adults and children develop a swallow that relies on the lips or facial muscles rather than the tongue.

4️⃣ Your lips may not comfortably stay together at rest
Lips should naturally rest closed without effort.

5️⃣ Your airway may be under stress
Snoring, grinding, clenching, headaches, TMJ symptoms, and poor sleep can sometimes trace back to oral function.

The good news is that oral function can be evaluated and improved.

At Myofunctional Spot, we specialize in identifying the underlying functional patterns that affect breathing, swallowing, oral development, sleep, and overall health.

Your mouth might not be whispering… it might be trying to get your attention.

If any of these sound familiar, it may be worth taking a closer look.

At Myofunctional Spot Center for Airway, Tongue Tie, Feeding & Swallowing, therapy often begins by strengthening the small muscles of the mouth that play a critical role in oral function. Lip strength and coordination are essential for proper swallowing, speech development, nasal breathing, and healthy oral rest posture.

Many children develop compensations when these muscles are weak or when oral function is not fully coordinated. What may appear to be a simple activity is actually guided neuromuscular training designed to help the lips, tongue, and jaw work together more efficiently.

Our specialized myofunctional therapy programs focus on improving oral muscle function to support better breathing, clearer speech, more efficient swallowing, and healthy oral development.

Through individualized therapy, we help children build the foundational skills that support long term airway health and optimal oral function.

If your tongue has teeth marks along the sides… pay attention.

That’s called Tongue Scalloping.

Many people assume it’s harmless.
But very often it’s a sign that the tongue does not have enough space in the mouth or is not resting where it should.

Your tongue is supposed to rest fully on the roof of the mouth with the lips closed and teeth slightly apart.

When the tongue sits low or doesn’t have enough room, it often presses into the teeth.

Over time this creates the scalloped edges you see in the images above.

This can sometimes be associated with:

• mouth breathing
• low tongue posture
• tongue tie
• narrow palate
• clenching or grinding
• airway related issues

In airway focused therapy we always evaluate function first.

Because function drives structure.

Form follows function.

Take a look in the mirror.

Do you see teeth marks on the sides of your tongue?

Most adults have no idea their swallow looks like this.

In a proper functional swallow, the full body of the tongue lifts to the palate.

In a tongue thrust swallow, the tongue pushes forward against the teeth instead.

Ideally, the tongue should not touch the teeth during swallowing, and most people should be able to swallow comfortably with their lips relaxed or in a slight smile without the tongue becoming visible.

Not every tongue thrust is this obvious.
Sometimes it can only be identified through a trained clinical evaluation with a Speech Pathologist (SLP), because the compensations can be subtle.

However, when the tongue is not functioning in its ideal position during swallowing, it can impact many areas of health and development over time.

This swallowing pattern is very common in children, and when it persists into adolescence and adulthood it has been associated with:

• orthodontic relapse after braces or Invisalign
• shifting or pressure on the teeth
• mouth breathing patterns
• airway and sleep concerns
• snoring or sleep apnea risk
• jaw tension and clenching
• TMJ dysfunction
• headaches and migraines
• facial growth and development changes
• neck and postural compensation patterns
• digestive concerns like severe reflux
• speech articulation
• even stuttering and voice concerns in some cases

The good news is that these patterns can often be retrained.

Myofunctional therapy focuses on identifying why the dysfunctional pattern developed in the first place and then guiding patients through a structured plan to restore proper oral muscle function.

Because when the tongue functions the way it was designed to, it supports better breathing, better swallowing, and overall oral health.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy isn’t only helpful after tonsil and adenoid surgery. Research shows it can improve nasal breathing and oral muscle function, which may reduce mouth breathing–related airway inflammation in some cases. It can also play an important role before and after ENT procedures to support healthier breathing patterns.

Our doors are officially open.

Today marked our very first day welcoming families into our new Myofunctional Spot Center in Coral Springs - and it was an incredible start.

We look forward to welcoming the rest of our wonderful families - from near and far - throughout the week.
