Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy in Marrero, LA
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) focuses on retraining oral, facial, and respiratory muscles for optimal function, improving breathing, chewing, swallowing, and orofacial posture. Treatment includes breathing and posture re-education, facial and tongue exercises, chewing and swallowing training, and habituation methods. We also offer a positive, appliance-free solution to address biting and sucking habits. Orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) can manifest in various ways, such as speech issues, oral habits, feeding problems, jaw pain, mouth breathing, open mouth rest posture, and sleep-disordered breathing. Addressing oral habits is crucial before starting an OMT program.
Who Would Benefit from Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy?
Individuals experiencing orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) would benefit from Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. This includes those with speech issues unresponsive to traditional therapy, parents of children with oral habits or feeding concerns, individuals undergoing repeated orthodontics, those seeking a functional evaluation for tongue or lip ties, people with jaw pain or dysfunction, mouth breathers or those with open mouth rest posture, and individuals with sleep-disordered breathing. OMT can help improve health and quality of life, as OMDs can impact various aspects of life and may cause dental and developmental issues.
