SUPPORT BETTER BREATHING, DAY AND NIGHT, WITH MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY
Myofunctional Therapy
At South Wales Dental Sleep, our myofunctional therapy service follows a clear, structured, and highly personalised pathway. Every programme is designed around the individual patient, with a strong focus on breathing, airway function, and long-term stability.
MEET YOUR MYOFUNCTIONAL SPECIALIST
Charlotte Baker is the myofunctional therapist at South Wales Dental Sleep, working closely alongside Dr Aston Parmar to support patients as part of a wider dental sleep care pathway.
She takes a calm, structured approach to therapy, focusing on helping patients build sustainable habits around breathing, oral posture, and function. Each programme is tailored to the individual, with clear guidance and ongoing support throughout.
Charlotte works with both adults and children, helping patients feel comfortable, supported, and confident as they progress through their treatment.
OUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
Initial Myofunctional Therapy Assessment
Duration: 60 minutes
Fee: £200
Your journey begins with a comprehensive myofunctional therapy assessment carried out by our specialist team. This one-hour consultation allows us to fully understand your current muscle function, breathing patterns, and airway-related symptoms.
During this appointment, we will:
- Record full baseline clinical findings
- Complete a detailed myofunctional assessment of tongue posture, lip seal, swallow pattern, and breathing function
- Review relevant dental, airway, and sleep history
- Discuss whether myofunctional therapy is appropriate for your individual presentation
A written follow-up summary letter outlining our findings and recommendations will be provided after the assessment.
Myofunctional Therapy Programme
Six online sessions
Fee: £450
Following assessment, most patients progress into a structured course of myofunctional therapy delivered through six guided online sessions.
This programme includes:
- A fully customised therapy plan tailored to your needs and goals
- Six online training sessions with ongoing guidance and progression
- A myofunctional exercise starter pack delivered to your home
- The exercise pack has a standalone value of £150 and includes the essential equipment required to begin your myofunctional therapy programme. This cost is included within the overall programme fee.
As therapy progresses, some patients may benefit from additional or more advanced equipment. Where required, this will be discussed and recommended on an individual basis.
Adhoc & Additional Myofunctional Therapy Sessions
Because myofunctional therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment, some patients may require further sessions to achieve optimal results.
- Additional online myofunctional therapy sessions: £79 per session
- The need for supplementary sessions will be discussed towards the end of your initial programme, based on progress and treatment goals
