Vibro-tactile deep stimulation for orofacial dysfunctions
In the therapy of orofacial dysfunctions, regulating the muscle tone of the structures involved in swallowing, breathing, and articulation is a central goal. novafon® can be specifically used within speech therapy treatment to regulate local mis-tension, improve sensorimotor perception, and promote the activation of individual movement patterns.

Gentle vibrations
effective for muscular imbalance
Certified medical devices for the supportive treatment of orofacial dysfunctions through myofunctional therapy.
Patients with orofacial dysfunctions often show reduced sensory perception as well as local hypertonicity or hypotonicity of the musculature. Through targeted vibrotactile stimulation with novafon, movement sequences within exercise therapy can be positively influenced, oral motor control can be strengthened, and adapted movement patterns can be trained. The application takes place as part of active functional exercises or passively for tone regulation and for facilitated muscle activation and coordination.
Targeted tone regulation
novafon helps to effectively regulate muscular imbalances in the orofacial system. Targeted vibrotactile stimulation supports improved muscle activation and facilitates goal oriented movement sequences.
Improved perception (oral proprioception)
The gentle, deep acting vibration enhances sensory feedback, especially in patients with reduced oral perception. This makes it easier to initiate and train movement patterns.
Flexible use in therapy
novafon adapts flexibly to the therapy goal as active support during exercises or passively for tone regulation. The attachments can be used intraorally and extraorally, and the application can be individually adjusted through different vibration intensities and frequencies.

Frequently asked questions
- How is novafon used in speech therapy?
Depending on the treatment goal, the device is applied to the corresponding body region using the appropriate attachment. By selecting the frequency (50, 75, or 100 Hz), the application can be individually adjusted and applied both intraorally and extraorally. The sound wave device can be used selectively or over larger areas to regulate muscle tension and promote perception.
- For which speech therapy indications is novafon suitable?
novafon is particularly suitable for dysphagia, myofunctional disorders, articulation disorders, voice disorders, and for muscle relaxation.
- What advantages does vibration therapy with novafon offer compared to other methods?
Compared to manual stimuli, vibration therapy enables deep, even stimulation without physical effort. novafon acts both sensorily and motorically, is mobile in use, and can be applied selectively or over larger areas.
- Can novafon also be used by patients at home?
Yes, novafon is suitable both for professional use in therapy and for use at home. Therapists can specifically instruct patients in its use in order to maintain or even improve therapy outcomes.
- Is there clinical evidence for the effectiveness of novafon sound wave devices?
Positive effects of local vibration therapy have been demonstrated in clinical studies. The treatment led to improvements in pain perception and neurological indications such as spasticity. You can find an overview of all clinical studies and publications here.
