Reclaiming proper function
What Is Adult Myofunctional Therapy?
Think of myofunctional therapy as physical therapy for your oral and facial muscles. Through targeted exercises at our Brookfield office, we help adults correct improper breathing patterns, tongue position, and muscle function that may have developed over years. This therapy addresses:
- Sleep breathing issues
- TMJ and jaw pain (learn more about TMJ disorders from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research)
- Neck tension
- Swallowing difficulties
- Chronic headaches
- Poor tongue posture

Myofunctional Therapy Near You in Waukesha County
Myofunctional therapy retrains the muscles of your mouth and face the same way physical therapy retrains any other muscle group, through consistent, targeted practice. For many Brookfield adults, years of mouth breathing, low tongue posture, or an unaddressed airway issue have locked in patterns that quietly drain sleep, strain the jaw, and leave mornings feeling rougher than they should. Correcting those patterns at the source is what makes the results last.
Our office serves patients from Brookfield, Elm Grove, Pewaukee, New Berlin, Wauwatosa, and across the greater Milwaukee area. Because myofunctional therapy works hand in hand with other care, we coordinate with your dentist, sleep physician, and other providers so your treatment plans line up rather than compete. The exercises fit into your day in short sessions, and most adults start noticing changes within the first few weeks.
