Question by Kim16757: myofunctional therapy for mouth breathing?
I have a lot of tension around my mouth, like when i put my lips together (i am a mouth breather) it looks like i’m forcing myself to close my mouth. Plus I have these dimple like things on my chin when I close my mouth…. How can i get rid of this? Are there exercises out there for this kind of thing?

No. Myofunctional therapy is for tongue-thrust, not mouth breathing.
Consult an ENT for an investigation into why you are a mouth breather. Nasal narrowing, nasal polyps, enlarged adenoids, a long soft palate, or enlarged tonsils can all cause a person to be a mouth breather. Once these conditions have been addressed, you shouldn’t have any more problems.
