Would I benefit from a myofunctional evaluation?Myofunctional therapy in children or adults is often warranted if you experience symptoms such as mouth breathing, lisps, snoring, crowded or cooked teeth, braces, obstructive sleep apnea, attention deficit, bed-wetting, or persistent thumb sucking. These symptoms can indicate underlying issues with muscle function in the mouth and face, which myofunctional therapy can effectively address.
