Why is bedwetting in children a concern?

When bedwetting continues past the typical age in children, it can sometimes be a sign of underlying breathing and airway issues. When a child breathes through their mouth or has poor tongue posture, it can affect how well their airway stays open during sleep. If the airway becomes narrow or partially blocked, the body must work harder to get enough oxygen. This can cause disturbed sleep, drops in oxygen levels and changes in hormone balance, which may interfere with the body’s ability to regulate the bladder at night.

How can myofunctional therapy help?

Myofunctional therapy helps improve nasal breathing, tongue posture, and sleep quality — all key factors in nighttime bladder control. By strengthening the muscles that support healthy breathing and airway function, many children experience fewer bedwetting episodes and more restful sleep.
