Does myofunctional therapy help with orthodontic treatment or relapse?

Yes. Myofunctional therapy plays a key role in supporting orthodontic treatment and preventing relapse. If the tongue pushes against the teeth or rests low in the mouth, it can interfere with bite alignment and stability. These patterns may cause teeth to shift even after braces or aligners.

Therapy strengthens the tongue, improves resting posture, and corrects swallowing habits. These changes help stabilize orthodontic results and support long-term alignment. For children, therapy can also improve oral development while treatment is still ongoing.

Many orthodontists recommend myofunctional therapy because correcting muscle patterns helps the teeth stay in their proper position. It works well for both children and adults, and it can be added before, during, or after orthodontic treatment.
