What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)?

A specialized treatment that focuses on improving the function and coordination of the muscles in the face and mouth.

OMT can help children with Orofacial myofunctional disorders, such as Tongue Thrusting, to eat, breath, or talk more efficiently. It uses facial, mouth, and tongue exercises to improve swallowing, breathing, and speech. It also corrects tongue position and stops habits like mouth breathing or tongue thrusting, promoting oral health and proper development. Here are some ways that OMT can help.

• Create a Lips-Together Mouth Posture

• Stop Pacifier or Thumb Sucking

• Improve Articulation of Speech Sounds

• Help with Swallowing

With myofunctional therapy, a patient can regain the joy of eating, speaking, breathing, and even sleeping more soundly.
