🌿 Benefits of Oral Myofunctional Therapy

Oral Myofunctional Therapy helps restore proper function and balance to the muscles of the face, tongue, lips, and jaw. By retraining these muscles and improving breathing, swallowing, and resting posture, OMT supports overall wellness—naturally.

😴 Improved Sleep Quality: Reduce snoring and sleep interruptions. May complement treatment for sleep apnea, working alongside CPAP or appliance therapy to improve outcomes.

Improved oral rest posture – Trains the tongue to rest on the palate and lips to close, supporting proper facial development and jaw alignment.

😁 Straighter, Healthier Smiles: Support orthodontic stability and reduce risk of relapse.

Improved breathing patterns – Encourages nasal breathing, which supports better oxygen intake, reduces snoring, and promotes restful sleep.

Better swallowing mechanics – Re-educates the tongue and orofacial muscles for more efficient and coordinated swallowing.

💪 Reduced teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) – Reducing TMJ strain. Restoring muscle balance can reduce strain and tension in the jaw and face.

🗣 Enhanced speech and articulation – Helps correct tongue placement and movement patterns that can interfere with clear speech.

🌱 Long-Term Wellness: Encourages mindful habits – Builds awareness of breathing, posture, and function that support lifelong wellness.

About Me

What began as a search for answers to my own pain and fatigue has become a calling to help others heal. My passion lies in guiding both children and adults toward better breathing, healthier sleep, and lasting balance through oral myofuntional therapy. 

Every breath, swallow, and movement of the tongue plays a powerful role in how our body functions.  When those patterns are out of balance, it can affect everything- from sleep to posture to facial growth.  My work is helping you restore that natural harmony.
