What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy?

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) affect the muscles and functions of the face and mouth, where irregular movement patterns result in dysfunction. These dysfunctions become habituated over time, and without intervention, they can trigger a chain reaction of negative health consequences. Sleep, digestion, posture and general well being can be significantly impacted by OMDs.

Orofacial (mouth/face) Myofunctional (muscle function) Therapy uses gentle, targeted exercises to help retrain the muscles of the mouth, face, and tongue. By building strength and balance, this therapy can restore healthy muscle function and improve habits that affect how you breathe, sleep, chew, and swallow. With a healthy resting posture for your tongue and lips, you can enjoy better jaw alignment and easier, healthier breathing. It's a simple, natural way to support better sleep and overall well-being for both kids and adults.
