Functional Airway Therapy is a specialized approach to dental care that focuses on the intricate relationship between the airway, breathing, and overall well-being. This comprehensive therapeutic discipline recognizes the profound impact of proper breathing on various aspects of health, including sleep quality, facial development, and oral function. The ultimate goal is to unlock the full potential of each breath, promoting restful sleep, facial balance, and overall vitality.
Experiencing excessive daytime fatigue, despite seemingly adequate hours of sleep, can be a red flag. Sleep-disordered breathing, including conditions like sleep apnea, can disrupt the restorative quality of sleep, leading to persistent tiredness during the day.
Chronic issues with nasal congestion, difficulty breathing through the nose, or relying heavily on mouth breathing may suggest airway-related concerns. Functional Airway Therapy can address these issues to promote more efficient and comfortable breathing.
Issues such as persistent bad breath, dry mouth, or difficulties with swallowing and chewing may be associated with myofunctional disorders. Functional Airway Therapy, including myofunctional therapy, targets these challenges by addressing improper oral muscle function.
Irregularities in facial development, including a narrow upper arch, crowded teeth, or improper jaw alignment, may signal a need for Functional Airway Therapy. These issues can contribute to compromised airway function and impact overall oral health.
Children experiencing delays in speech or language development may benefit from myofunctional therapy within Functional Airway Therapy. This approach can address tongue and oral muscle dysfunction, potentially supporting optimal speech development.

Myofunctional therapy is a new and upcoming form of physical therapy that can be life changing for any child or adult with dysfunction.
The newest research is proving that the way a child breathes, swallows and sleeps makes a difference in the quality of life they will have as an adult. It is critical to catch and treat myofunctional disorders in children before they are done growing.
Adults also benefit from myofunctional therapy. Although there are disorders that are more successful being treated as a child, an adult can see great relief with chronic conditions such as sleep disorders, mouth breathing, chronic TMJ pain, clenching, grinding, headaches, and also back, neck and shoulder pain.
Hoopes Dental has undergone education to become functional frenectomy providers. This means that when you are treated in our office we not only are able to diagnose a tongue tie that could be causing your myofunctional disorders but we are also trained, unlike most dentists, to release the tie in a way that will support your overall health and wellbeing. This type of release in conjunction with our trained myofunctional therapists will provide you or your child life-long benefits.
Functional orthodontics transcends the traditional goal of straightening teeth; it seeks to harmonize the relationship between the teeth, jaws, and airway. Functional orthodontics creates a beautifully aligned smile and supports optimal breathing and facial balance by addressing underlying issues contributing to malocclusions, such as narrow arches or improper jaw development.
