What is Orofacial Myology?
Oralmyology is a non-invasive holistic approach that treats the whole body by working with the muscles of the face, tongue, mouth and jaw to create symmetry balance and proper oral habits for a lifelong healthy posture.
We focus on Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) such as mouth breathing, tight or restricted tongue and lip ties, improper chewing and swallowing patterns, tongue thrust, lip incompetence and oral facial habits to name just a few. These OMDs are linked to migraines, TMJD, facial development, asymmetry, poor breathing and sleeping habits. Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy works with the root cause of these disorders by using methods of neuroplasticity and behavior modification techniques.

Heidi, wanted to thank you again for all you did for me ... I ran and finished the L.A. Marathon - with my mouth closed!
I literally could NOT have done that if I was still breathing through my mouth.
So thanks!
