Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)
The muscles of our face and mouth allow us to eat, speak, breathe and smile. The optimum growth and function of our oral facial musculature is critical for our growth and overall well-being. A disordered pattern of the function of one or some of our oral facial muscles can result in improper habits such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and incorrect swallowing, which can lead to speech, dental, and breathing difficulties. These are Oro myofunctional disorders.
What does OMT look like?
Orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) is a specialized treatment designed to address abnormal muscle patterns and functions in the mouth, face, and jaw. It involves exercises and techniques to retrain the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue to function correctly. The therapy aims to improve posture, promote nasal breathing, optimize tongue position, and ensure proper swallowing patterns.
What are the benefits of OMT?
1. Improved Speech and Articulation: Correcting muscle imbalances can help with clearer speech.
2. Swallowing Correction: Establishing a more efficient, natural swallowing pattern.
3. Better Breathing: Encouraging nasal breathing instead of mouth breathing.
