At Uptown Guelph Dental, we combine Invisalign clear aligners with myofunctional therapy to create healthier, long-lasting smiles. This dual approach not only straightens teeth but also corrects underlying habits such as tongue thrust, mouth breathing, and speech concerns that can impact both oral health and orthodontic results.
By addressing the root causes of misalignment while guiding teeth into position, our patients achieve smiles that look great and function properly for life.
Conditions Treated with Myofunctional Therapy
Our team uses myofunctional therapy to support a variety of concerns, including:
- Tongue thrusting that can push teeth out of place
- Mouth breathing habits linked to improper jaw development
- Sleep apnea support by improving airway function
- Speech development and articulation support
These treatments work seamlessly with Invisalign, helping ensure that orthodontic results are more stable and effective.
