What is Functional Education (EF Therapy)?
Functional Education is a modern, preventive approach in children's dental care that supports healthy oral and facial development during their growing years (age 3–12).
Rather than waiting until all permanent teeth come in, this early-phase care works to improve oral function — addressing root causes before they lead to more complex issues.
Here’s what it supports:
Trains proper muscle function of the lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw
Encourages nose breathing and proper swallowing patterns
Helps eliminate habits like thumb sucking and nail biting
Why start early?
Supports healthy growth of jaws and facial structure
Promotes better breathing, chewing, and swallowing functions
May reduce the complexity of future orthodontic treatments (aligners or braces)Children wear a soft, flexible splint for a few hours during the day and overnight. This gentle method helps guide oral function into balance — giving your child a head start in lifelong oral health.
How to use:
Wear EF line for the recommended daily hours
Remove before meals and snacks
Clean the appliance daily
Perform the prescribed exercises during wearing time
Store safely when not in use and follow your dentist’s guidance
