Discover how Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy WORKS and how it can improve your overall WELLNESS.
MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY (also known as Orofacial Myology, Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, Tongue Thrust Therapy, OMT, and MYO) is the rehabilitation and treatment of any atypical patterns and functional disorders of the oral and facial muscles that may disrupt normal dental, jaw, face, and airway development.
MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY acts in the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of people who may have changed and compromised functions of the orofacial muscles. Through neuromuscular training of the muscles in the face, mouth, lips, and tongue, the normal balance and functions of these muscles are restored. Achieving this muscular harmony helps improve facial and dental development, breathing, sleeping, chewing, and swallowing. When this harmony within the orofacial muscles is achieved, a lifetime of health benefits is reached.
MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY helps normalize and restore the proper functions of the oral and facial muscles by achieving the FOUR GOALS OF MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY:
PROMOTING LIP SEAL
NASAL BREATHING NIGHT AND DAY
PROMOTING PROPER TONGUE POSTURE
FACILITATING PROPER SWALLOWING
Think of it as Physiotherapy for the muscles of the mouth and face!
Orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) can lead to many orthodontic, dental, and speech problems and are implicated in Sleep Disordered Breathing, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring. When left untreated, these OMDs can impact quality of life negatively.
