Restoring Your Muscles’ Natural Function

Every muscle in your face, mouth, and neck performs a specific function, and they all work together to help you breathe, talk, and eat.

But when you experience issues related to your mouth and throat, like sleep apnea, difficulty swallowing, or unclear speech, bad muscular habits might be the cause. Strengthen your facial muscles with myofunctional therapy in Kennebunk! At Generations Dentistry, we use myofunctional therapy to retrain your muscles and improve your quality of life.

What to Expect From Myofunctional Therapy

    Consultation

    To start your myofunctional therapy treatment, we will perform a comprehensive exam. We will take a series of photos and records, talk about your current symptoms and concerns, and then develop a customized plan to meet your goals.

    Treatment

    We will schedule your treatment sessions 2 to 3 weeks apart. During these visits, we will walk you through exercises that act as physical therapy for your tongue and facial muscles. We will also give you exercises to perform daily at home.

    Results

    Your treatment will continue until we help you reach your goals and experience improved breathing, speaking, and eating function. With occasional maintenance therapy sessions, you can enjoy the benefits indefinitely.

      William G.

      I have been a patient of Trenalange Family Dentistry for several years. They have been very respectful of my low tolerance for dental pain. This visit was to restore the bite on four of my front lower teeth. There was no use of novocaine during this procedure. I experienced no pain and no nerve sensitivity. When I asked Dr. Trentalange why, he told me it was because of the laser technology they use and the reduction in trama to the teeth. Bravo! If you are looking for a practice that respects you and is using the best technology, look no further. I would recommend them anybody and I have.
