You don’t have to be in the same city—or even the same country—to get support for oral function challenges. Thanks to telehealth and the adaptability of modern care, myofunctional therapy is one of the easiest therapies to deliver virtually. Whether you're dealing with mouth breathing, tongue thrust, sleep-disordered breathing, or preparing for a tongue-tie release, myofunctional therapy can be done from the comfort of your own home—anywhere in the world.


At Wisco Integrative Therapies, we proudly offer virtual myofunctional therapy sessions to clients far beyond our Milwaukee and Mequon offices—because access shouldn’t be a barrier to better health.

What Is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is a type of exercise-based treatment that helps retrain the muscles of the face, tongue, mouth, and throat. These muscles play a crucial role in breathing, chewing, swallowing, speech, and facial development.


Myofunctional therapy is often used to support:

  • Mouth breathing or nasal congestion

  • Tongue thrust and improper swallowing patterns

  • Speech difficulties

  • Snoring and sleep apnea

  • Orthodontic relapse

  • Tongue-tie or lip-tie pre- and post-release care

  • Digestive or feeding challenges (in children and adults)


And the best part? Much of this can be addressed through guided exercises, habit coaching, and education—all of which can be done virtually.


How Virtual Myofunctional Therapy Works

During a virtual session, your therapist will guide you through personalized exercises, assess oral function, offer real-time feedback, and provide tools and strategies tailored to your unique needs. All you need is:

  • A reliable internet connection

  • A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera

  • A willingness to learn and practice simple daily exercise


Our sessions are engaging, interactive, and often include family participation (especially for younger clients). We make it fun and accessible—without the hassle of commuting or rearranging your entire day.


Benefits of Virtual Myofunctional Therapy

  • Convenience: No travel time, no traffic, and you can attend from anywhere.

  • Consistency: Regular sessions are easier to maintain with a virtual option.

  • Comfort: Many clients (especially kids!) feel more relaxed at home.

  • Global Access: Whether you’re across the state or across the world, you can receive expert care.

  • Family Involvement: Virtual therapy often allows more flexibility for caregivers or parents to be involved.


Why It Still Works—Even Online

Some therapies require hands-on treatment—but myofunctional therapy is highly visual, behavioral, and education-based. Your therapist can clearly observe your movements, guide your practice, and troubleshoot issues—all through video.


Plus, because the exercises are done daily at home, having virtual check-ins actually reinforces your real-life progress and empowers you to take charge of your health.
