Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy Services

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy in Cary, North Carolina

Enhance Your Oral Health with Comprehensive Care

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a specialized program designed to correct improper function of the muscles of the face and mouth. It focuses on retraining the tongue, lips, and jaw to work together more harmoniously, helping to restore proper breathing, swallowing, and overall oral posture.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy in Cary, North Carolina

How Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy Works

  • Assessment: A qualified professional evaluates oral posture, breathing habits, and swallowing patterns.
  • Exercises & Training: Patients learn targeted exercises to strengthen and coordinate the orofacial muscles, encouraging correct tongue positioning and improved facial balance.
  • Ongoing Support: Progress is closely monitored, with adjustments made as needed to ensure lasting improvements.

Key Benefits of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

  • Improved Breathing: Encourages nasal breathing and can reduce snoring or mild sleep apnea symptoms.
  • Enhanced Speech & Swallowing: Correct tongue posture and muscle coordination can improve articulation and reduce swallowing difficulties.
  • Balanced Facial Growth: Proper oral muscle function may positively influence jaw alignment and facial development in children.
  • Reduced Jaw & Neck Tension: Alleviates stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles, potentially minimizing pain and discomfort.
  • Long-Term Oral Health: Correct muscle function helps maintain proper tooth alignment and can support orthodontic or dental treatments.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is often recommended in conjunction with other dental or medical interventions to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.
