Mouth Breathing & Myofunctional Therapy
in Fayetteville, AR

What is mouth breathing?

Mouth breathing is the habit of breathing through the mouth instead of the nose, either during the day or while sleeping. It can affect both children and adults and is often associated with symptoms such as dry mouth, snoring, restless sleep, and improper tongue posture.

At MYO2 Myofunctional Therapy Group in Fayetteville, Arkansas, we help children and adults throughout Northwest Arkansas improve their oral habits and develop healthier breathing patterns.

How Can Myofunctional Therapy Help with Mouth Breathing?

Myofunctional therapy helps retrain healthy oral habits by teaching you to keep your lips closed, maintain proper tongue resting posture on the roof of your mouth, and breathe comfortably through your nose. This supports better oral function, facial balance, healthy nasal breathing, and overall health.

Mouth breathing can also be associated with other oral and sleep-related concerns, including snoring and tongue thrust.
