Myofunctional therapy is similar to physical therapy in that it uses exercises to correct function

Apparently my brand is “tongue posture by day, homeschool chaos by night, and pretending I’m not spiraling in between.”

Let’s go back in time to understand how the process evolved. In 1892 Dr Edward H. Angle was the first to solely practice Orthodontics. He coined the term malocclusion and created the first prefabricated orthodontic appliance system. He believed the main reasons for malocclusion was due to the orofacial muscles and mouth breathing due to nasal obstruction and lip/tongue habits maintained the malocclusion.

Already we can see the link to myofunctional therapy. If the orofacial muscles are responsible for palate development and keeping teeth straight, if there is a disorder present, there will be dysfunction!

Fast forward to 1906 when Dr Alfred P. Rogers developed corrective exercises to improve tonicity and muscle function. Although not called myofunctional exercises, these were arguably the first myofunctional exercises! Later, Benno E. Lischer was the first person to use the term “myofunctional therapy” to describe Rogers exercises.

In 1918, Dr. Rogers wrote that the general body postures and an ‘imbalance’ of facial muscles resulted in malocclusion. He believed that the orofacial muscles were a living orthodontic appliance, which we now know is true!

That makes myofunctional therapy 118+ years old! It’s not new, the knowledge has been here and the body of evidence that supports myofunctional therapy is growing rapidly. We will include references here to some of the current research articles that support myofunctional therapy and its efficacy.
