Did you know we swallow 500-1000 times a day? It's easy to see how improper swallowing can cause a variety of problems. But it’s actually the resting position of the tongue that can cause crooked teeth issues because it’s more constant.
Myofunctional Therapy helps overcome bad mouth posture and other pesky oral habits that can upset your body’s overall wellbeing.
It’s a holistic, painless and affordable therapy that can correct the issues that lead to crooked teeth. The earlier you get onto it the more likely you are to avoid orthodontic work later down the track.
We sometimes recommend Myofunctional therapy alongside a Breathe-Easy Buteyko breathing course, as poor mouth and breathing habits can go hand in hand.
Our treatment plans include an initial consultation with photos, diagnostic analysis, exercise plans and monthly progress checks.
Breathe-Easy™ Buteyko
Buteyko Breathing helps control symptoms related to over-breathing and hyperventilation by gently restoring natural breathing patterns, without medications or equipment.

FAQ
What do you mean by over-breathing?
Over-breathing changes the delicate balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our systems. Chronic over-breathing basically means that we habitually breathe more air than what our bodies need.
How long does it take to see benefits?
It depends on how old you are, how healthy you are, how often you practice and your daily awareness of your breathing habits. Most people see benefits within a few days of the workshop. They love their improved sleep, reduced mucus, improved digestion, better energy levels – and often less need for medication. More profound systemic improvements take a little longer, but they’re well worth waiting for.
My son is 5 and has some breathing issues. Can he learn Butekyo?
We’ve trained patients who are 5 years old, patients who are 90 years old and everything in between. Even 5 and 6 year olds pick the method up easily – but for kids this young it’s best if a parent tags along so they feel more comfortable. It also means the child will have someone to encourage them to practice the techniques at home.
