Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

Breathe Better. Sleep Better. Feel Better.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a gentle, supportive approach to help the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue function as they should—with one essential goal: better breathing.

Why Breathing Matters

When we breathe well—especially through the nose—it supports better sleep, improved focus, healthy development, and overall well-being.

This therapy focuses on restoring proper function so your body doesn’t have to compensate in ways that can lead to long-term issues.

Why Airway Health Matters

Many common concerns stem from how we breathe and how our oral muscles function. When the airway is compromised, the body adapts—but not always in helpful ways.

By gently retraining these patterns, we support healthier breathing and long-term stability.

Frequently Ask Questions

How do I know if I or my child needs myofunctional therapy?

Signs include open-mouth posture, snoring, restless sleep, difficulty keeping lips closed, or improper swallowing patterns.

How long does Myofunctional Therapy take?

Most programs last 3–6 months, depending on consistency and individual needs. Success depends heavily on practicing exercises at home.

Do I need a referral to schedule?

No referral is needed. You can schedule directly with our office at any time.

How do I know if Myofunctional Therapy is the right fit for me (or my child)?

That’s exactly what the consultation is for. We take time to listen, evaluate, and determine whether treatment is appropriate or if another provider would better serve your needs.

What are MyoMunchees and how do they help with myofunctional therapy??

MyoMunchees are a soft, chewable tool used alongside myofunctional therapy exercises to help strengthen the muscles of the lips, tongue, and jaw. They support proper chewing patterns, encourage nasal breathing, and can make therapy more engaging, especially for kids.
