Snoring is not a normal behavior. Healthy nighttime sleep breathing consists of quiet nasal breathing with the lips closed and the tongue resting all the way up at the roof of the mouth.
Myofunctional Therapy identifies and corrects abnormal oral habits by practicing exercises to retrain the orofacial complex to function properly while breathing, chewing, swallowing & at rest
When breathing is difficutt or the tongue tie is restricted, other muscles can struggle to compensate which can cause tension to develop that can lead to back and neck pain, unhealthy posture and chronic pain.

Numerous studies have demonstrated orofacial myofunctional therapy effectiveness including a study done by Hahn & Hahn (1992), which revealed that treatment for myofunctional disarders can be 80%-90% effective in correcting swallowing and rest posture function and that these corrections are retained years after completing therapy.
