Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy: Understanding the importance of addressing oral muscle functions   

What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy?

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) occur when the muscles of the mouth and face do not function correctly. This can disrupt proper growth and development, leading to issues such as speech difficulties, misaligned teeth, tongue thrust, mouth breathing, and sleep disorders.


Our comprehensive therapy program is designed to retrain these muscles to ensure optimal function, improve posture, and enhance breathing patterns.

✔ Comprehensive assessments to create a personalized treatment plan.
✔ Habit elimination therapy for children (e.g., thumb sucking).
✔ Pre- and post-frenectomy care for optimal healing.
✔ Jaw stabilization exercises to improve muscle coordination.
✔ Collaborative care with healthcare professionals for holistic treatment.

FAQs About Myofunctional Therapy

  • What is the best age to start Myofunctional Therapy?

    OMT can benefit patients of all ages, but early intervention (ages 4-12) is ideal for correcting improper habits before they impact permanent teeth and facial growth.

  • Can Myofunctional Therapy help with sleep apnea?

    Yes! Strengthening oral and facial muscles can open the airway, reduce snoring, and improve sleep quality for both children and adults.

  • How long does Myofunctional Therapy take?

    The duration of therapy varies by patient, but most see improvement within 6-12 months with consistent exercises and follow-ups.

  • Can OMT help with TMJ pain and posture issues?

    Absolutely! Proper jaw alignment and muscle function reduce tension, correct forward head posture, and alleviate TMJ pain.
