What happens during the session?

1. Initial assessment and discussion

The therapist analyzes progress since the last session and checks how home exercises are performed. Tongue position, breathing, lip and cheek tone, and any oral habits influencing facial development are evaluated.

2. Personalized exercises

Each session includes a series of carefully selected exercises adapted to the patient's age and needs. These target:

• re-education of tongue position,
• strengthening lip and cheek muscles,
• correcting swallowing,
• improving nasal breathing,
• coordination and control of orofacial functions.

Exercises are demonstrated, repeated with the patient, and adjusted until correctly performed.

3. Correction of harmful habits

If oral breathing, thumb sucking, tongue thrust, or other oral habits are present, the therapist provides practical strategies for their gradual and safe elimination.

4. Integration into daily life

The patient is guided to transfer new habits into daily activities: during speaking, eating, sleeping, or resting. The goal is establishing stable and natural functional patterns.

5. Home plan

At the end of the session, the patient receives a clear exercise plan for home with detailed explanations and frequency recommendations. Daily practice is essential for rapid and effective results.

Outcome?

Harmonious orofacial muscle function, correct breathing, mature swallowing, and balanced craniofacial development. Myofunctional therapy contributes not only to oral health but also to quality of life, confidence, and comfort.
