Orofacial Myofunctional Program

Our Program is appropriate for children, teens and adults. Program goals are individualized and are meant to create new healthy oral habits. The benefit of healthy habits can include nasal breathing, a proper swallow pattern, favorable resting tongue position and preserving orthodontic results from this program.

This program is comprehensive and covers a variety of oral problems. It helps reverse damaging habits, such as tongue thrust. The program can last from six months to a year. Its objective is to eliminate bad habits, demonstrate therapeutic facial exercises, develop proper lip seal and tongue placement and teach chewing and swallowing patterns while reinforce good habits.
