Don’t ignore the snore: Understanding Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Adults and Children
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a common problem that affects millions of adults and children, leading to serious health problems such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Myofunctional therapy is a holistic approach that addresses the underlying causes of SDB such as poor oral muscle tone, tethered oral tissues, and malocclusion. By strengthening the muscles of the face and jaw, and retraining the tongue and lips, myofunctional therapy can improve breathing and alleviate SDB symptoms.
