An Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist is highly trained and specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the muscles and functions of the face, mouth and throat.

Myofunctional therapists work with patients who may have problems with tongue posture, swallowing patterns, speech difficulties, breathing problems, and other issues that stem from improper muscle coordination and function. We use exercises, techniques, and therapies to help patients develop proper muscle habits and improve their overall oral and facial function.

The goals of myofunctional therapy include improving speech articulation, correcting swallowing patterns, facilitating proper breathing, enhancing facial aesthetics, and addressing issues related to oral habits such as thumb sucking.
