Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry works in conjunction with general dentistry to ensure the overall health and beauty of your mouth.
The appearance of your teeth should reflect your excellent dental health. Otherwise, neither you nor the world will know that your teeth are healthy and strong. An aesthetically pleasing mouth heightens your self-esteem, brightens your face, and betters your presentation in both social and professional interactions.

Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy is a program used to correct the improper function of the tongue and facial muscles. It involves strengthening the tongue and orofacial muscles by teaching individuals how to engage the muscles to the appropriate position.
Mouth Breathing
Individuals with predominant mouth breathing (or insufficient habitual nasal breathing) often develop maladaptive habits and patterns of orofacial function that may impact various conditions including:
-
Facial skeletal growth (maxillofacial development)
-
Sleep-disordered breathing (including snoring and sleep apnea)
-
Nasal obstruction
-
Oral hygiene and dental problems
-
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
-
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction
-
Neck and shoulder tension
-
Speech problems
-
Facial esthetics
-
And more....
Research
Recent research has shown that myofunctional therapy may reduce the symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (such as snoring), and ameliorate mild to moderate OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).
