Find Out Why Myofunctional Therapists are Raving about Myospots
We breathe in and out 22,000 times per day. Our nose acts as a filter for the air that we are breathing, and helps us to absorb enough oxygen. When we breathe with our mouth, it affects our posture and health in serious ways.

Why you need to pay attention to mouth breathing.
We breathe in and out 22,000 times per day. Our nose acts as a filter for the air that we are breathing, and helps us to absorb enough oxygen. When we breathe with our mouth, it affects our posture and health in serious ways.
Mouth breathing can cause a range of worrying symptoms from crooked teeth to bad breath and gum disease. Especially in children, mouth breathing can cause dental problems, irritability, enlarged tonsils, difficulty concentrating and sleepiness.
Evidence has shown that mouth breathing can not only induce obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but it can also worsen it by causing nasal resistance and airway collapse. Nasal resistance can induce further congestion and worsen OSA in a positive feedback loop. This makes it a significant phenomenon to investigate in patients experiencing idiopathic OSA or daytime sleepiness.
Mouth breathing is only now gaining awareness and is likely to be frequently overlooked by healthcare practitioners. Even for those who identify the problem in their patients, there has not been a simple tool they can offer their patients in order to address this problem – until now.
Did you know that it’s possible to improve these symptoms with a tasty, easy and useful product?

Developed based on the latest research into myofunctional therapy, Myospots is a unique and popular new tool for tongue elevation exercises.
Myospots, a must-have tool in Myofunctional therapy.
Myospots is an effective, affordable and evidence-based method to improve tongue posture and encourage correct nasal breathing techniques. Flavoured, dissolvable tabs are placed on the roof of the mouth to train the patient’s tongue to stay in the correct position and are enjoyed in three flavours. This encourages patient compliance – especially in children.
Myospots are suitable for a wide range of healthcare professionals who are interested in addressing mouth breathing or in myofunctional therapy.
Here’s why this innovation can’t be overlooked:

Speech pathologists
A unique tool to cue the tongue into various positions and assist in the articulation of sounds. The pleasant taste encourages patient uptake.

Orthodontists
Myospots are used to assist in naturally aligning teeth, improving nasal breathing and reducing relapse of orthodontic treatment.

Chiropractors
Myospots can be used to improve neck posture build strength and assist in holding post adjustments.

General Practitioners
Can help correct mouth breathing to reduce the frequency of tonsillitis, adenoiditis as well as snoring and sleep apnea.

How do they work?



- Myospots are small, dissolvable, adhesive pads that adhere easily to the roof of the mouth by gently forcing them with your thumb against the hard palate (2-3 mm behind the two front teeth).
- Once adhered, the spot stimulates your tongue involuntarily and unconsciously to elevate and touch it. It acts therefore as a tool to GUIDE and REMIND your tongue. It GUIDES the tongue to the correct spot (where it needs to elevate and rest on the roof of the mouth) and it also REMINDS the tongue to keep elevating until the spot is completely dissolved under the effect of saliva.
- Each spot takes 45-50 min to dissolve completely, providing almost 1 hour of extensive tongue exercise with each spot.
- Using 2-3 spots every day for 8 to 10 weeks helps in creating a tongue elevation habit that is associated with a lip seal and nasal breathing.
- Furthermore, the gentle pressure exerted by the tongue on the surface of the hard palate provides good resistance exercise that results overtime in increasing tongue muscles strength.
- This tongue strength is needed to maintain normal swallowing and speech functions and to maintain patent airways while awake and asleep.
- The gentle pressure exerted by the tongue while resting on the palate induces the natural expansion of the maxilla, particularly in young children.
Please note the following when attaching the spot to the roof of your mouth:
Myospots are not sticky and this is why they do not stick to each other in the container or to your fingers when you hold them. Myospots are made of hygroscopic materials that tend to absorb moisture quickly from the surroundings, this is how it adheres to the palate, since it sticks easily to wet surfaces under the moisture effect.
If the roof of the mouth is too dry (which is the usual case in chronic mouth breathers) the spot will not adhere easily. If you find it difficult to adhere the spot to the roof of your mouth, please try the following: take a sip of water before using the spot, and moisten the roof of your mouth with the tip of the tongue for a few seconds, then apply the spot. If your child is the one who is doing the exercise, make sure when they start elevating the tongue not to force the spot off, but to press over it with tongue surface.
