How OMT Works at OMT Clinics

At OMT Clinics, our certified therapists create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. Our process includes:

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Detailed assessment of the orofacial muscles and functions to identify specific issues. We take a holistic approach by reviewing health background, intake forms, and overall wellness to ensure a thorough understanding of each patient's unique needs.
• Custom Exercises: Development of targeted exercises to strengthen and retrain the muscles of the face, tongue, and mouth.
• Habit Modification: Strategies to eliminate detrimental oral habits such as thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use, nail biting, and teeth grinding (bruxism).
• Integrated Care: Collaboration with orthodontists, speech therapists, and ENT specialists to provide comprehensive care.

Benefits of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

When the goals of myofunctional therapy are achieved, patients may experience a variety of improvements, depending on their individual symptoms and how they relate to myofunctional disorders. Every person presents with different complaints and issues. Common improvements reported by patients include:

• More Restful Sleep: Many patients find that they sleep more soundly and wake up feeling more refreshed.
• Increased Energy and Focus: Enhanced breathing can lead to higher energy levels and improved concentration throughout the day.
• Improved Allergies: Better oral posture and breathing techniques may contribute to reduced allergy symptoms.
• Less Dark Circles Under the Eyes: Enhanced sleep quality and overall health can reduce the appearance of dark circles.
• Better Chewing: Improved muscle function can lead to more efficient and comfortable chewing.
• Digestive Benefits: Proper swallowing and chewing techniques can improve digestion, potentially reducing bloating and other digestive discomforts. This improvement is linked to more efficient processing of food and reduced air swallowing, which can contribute to a healthier digestive system.
