The Impact of Myofunctional Disorders
Interactive diagram coming soon. In the meantime, explore how myofunctional disorders affect the face, mouth, tongue, and neck below.
The Face
Disorders can lead to structural changes in facial growth, causing a narrower appearance or dental crowding over time.
The Mouth
Open mouth breathing patterns can cause dry mouth, increased risk of decay, and impact the development of the jaw.
The Tongue
Incorrect resting posture or 'tongue thrust' during swallowing affects speech clarity and airway health.
The Neck
Poor oral posture often translates to forward head posture, causing chronic tension and pain in the neck and shoulders.
