What is jaw pain?
Jaw pain often comes from muscle tension or imbalance in the face, mouth and neck. When the tongue, lips, and jaw don’t work together in balance, it can create strain in the muscles used for chewing, speaking and swallowing.
How can myofunctional therapy help?
Myofunctional therapy helps relieve and prevent jaw pain be retraining the oral and facial muscles to work in harmony. Through gentle exercises, therapy promotes relaxation, balance, and proper tongue posture, which can reduce muscle tension, improve alignment, and support long-term comfort.
