Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT), at its heart, about helping you feel better—starting with the muscles you use every day without even thinking: the muscles of your face, mouth, and throat. When these muscles aren’t working in harmony, it can affect so much more than people realize.
Mouth breathing, low tongue posture, or an incorrect swallowing pattern can quietly contribute to concerns like poor sleep, snoring, jaw tension, headaches, neck pain, speech challenges, and even the stability of dental or orthodontic treatment. If any of this sounds familiar, please know there is a reason you’re experiencing it—and there is help.
Our approach is tailored to you, supportive, and personalized. We take the time to identify what’s happening and why, then guide you step by step through exercises and daily practices that retrain these muscles to function the way they were meant to. This is not about quick fixes or blame—it’s about understanding your body and giving it the tools to heal and thrive.
For children, OMT can be especially powerful. Muscle dysfunction can influence facial growth and development, speech, swallowing, and even breastfeeding for infants. We work together to address habits like thumb-sucking, support healthy airway development, and improve outcomes for orthodontic treatment—while also helping reduce concerns like snoring or sleep-disordered breathing. Most importantly, we focus on building a strong foundation so your child can grow into a healthy, confident adult.
