Orofacial myofunctional therapy is a highly effective way to treat headaches, muscle tension, snoring, speech issues and more
Orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) is a set of personalized physical therapy exercises to strengthen and coordinate the muscles of the face and tongue to optimize nasal breathing, chewing and swallowing. Orofacial function can be negatively impacted by mouth breathing and improper tongue posture leading to restricted skeletal growth, sleep disordered breathing (including snoring & sleep apnea), speech issues, TMJ dysfunction, restricted tongue mobility, headaches (including migraines), facial asymmetry, neck and shoulder tension, dental problems and more.
Try my 30 day oral habit elimination program for thumb/finger sucking, chewing on clothes, tongue thrusting, nail biting and other parafunctional habits.
Popping or clicking jaws can lead to jaw pain and headaches. Jaw exercises aim to stabilize the jaw joint, reducing inflammation and discomfort.
I work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan of daily exercises to meet your goals and, if needed, help coordinate your treatment with other dental and medical professionals including orthodontists, dentists, ENTs, SLPs, cranial sacral and massage therapists.
I am a dental hygienist of 25+ years and specialize in orofacial myofunctional therapy. My own journey to better breathing and sleeping has inspired me to help others also.
