MARPE (MASPE)/Jaw Surgery Support

Did you know that the root cause of needing MARPE (MASPE) or jaw surgery is most commonly dysfunction of the orofacial muscles?

A tongue tie, tongue thrust, or disordered breathing pattern results in underdeveloped upper and lower jaws. Once the jaws have matured, they are smaller and lack adequate space for the tongue, which contributes to airway concerns such as Sleep Disordered Breathing and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

While many choose to make structural changes through MARPE or jaw surgery, patients are at risk of relapse and a return of symptoms if the underlying orofacial muscular dysfunction is not corrected.

Myofunctional therapy is an essential component of structural correction, ensuring the long-term success and protection of your investment!
