Read the Research on Breathing and Myofunctional Therapy

"Conclusion: Lingual frenuloplasty with myofunctional therapy is safe and potentially effective for the treatment of mouthbreathing, snoring, clenching, and myofascial tension in appropriately selected patient candidates. Further studies with objective measures are merited."

“Lowest oxygen saturations, snoring, and sleepiness outcomes improve in adults. Myofunctional therapy could serve as an adjunct to other obstructive sleep apnea treatments.“

"Patients with chronic TMD <temporomandibular joint disorder> showed temporal prolongation and changes in the relative activity of the muscles during the swallowing tasks. The present results contribute additional evidence regarding the reorganization of muscle activity in patients with chronic TMD."

"The results of this study and the prospective clinical trial showed a significant correlation between tinnitus and TMD. The observed treatment outcome suggests that dental functional therapy may have a positive effect on TMD-related tinnitus."

"Yackle et al. found a small, molecularly defined neuronal subpopulation in this breathing rhythm generator that directly projects to a brain center that plays a key role in generalized alertness, attention, and stress (see the Perspective by Sheikbahaei and Smith). Removal of these cells did not affect normal breathing but left the animals unusually calm. The breathing center thus has a direct and dramatic influence on higher-order brain function."

"Our study demonstrated the hypothesised physiology of BBT <Buteyko Breathing Technique>, improving hyperventilation induced hypocapnoea and breathlessness, following maximal exercise. By teaching patients to reduce hypernoea of breathing (the rate &depth), BBT may reduce asthma symptoms and improve exercise tolerance and control."
