Understanding MFT

Orofacial myofunctional therapy uses targeted exercises to improve how the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue function. It is commonly used to address habits and coordination issues related to nasal-breathing, tongue posture, jaw comfort, and function. MFT is often used to support nasal-breathing, function, and long-term stability for both children and adults.

MFT Can Help With

Tongue posture and tongue-tie–related symptoms

Mouth breathing

Teeth grinding (bruxism)

Jaw or TMJ discomfort

Snoring and airway-related concerns

Habits that may affect teeth alignment

About Lucy

My interest in myofunctional therapy began over 15 years ago. After treating countless patients in the dental field, I observed firsthand how the structure of the mouth affects not only appearance but also functions such as speaking, breathing and overall well-being. Over time, my interest in the field expanded from a professional focus to a personal one, for both my daughter and me. This led me to seek out local myofunctional specialists and ultimately sparked my formal education in the field.
