Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is similar to physical therapy, but is specific for airway support and orofacial development. It targets the oral and facial muscles including the mouth, face, lips and tongue to improve strength, function, and retrain dysfunctional muscle patterns. Although specific to the upper airway, OMT considers the body as a whole and looks to support the rest of the body through the functions of the tongue, breathing, chewing, swallowing. A thorough review of you or your child's medical history, symptoms and concerns is completed, along with an orofacial myofunctional assessment, including tongue and lip ties to create an individualized treatment plan. By improving the muscle functions of the mouth, face, lips and tongue, improvements can be seen with breathing, sleeping, chewing, swallowing, speech, orthodontic concerns, jaw pain and more!
