What is Orofacial Myology?
Orofacial myology might sound like a bit of a mouthful at first. The most basic way to explain it is that, ‘orofacial’ refers to the face and mouth region while the word ‘myology’ is the area of study that’s focused on muscles and how they work. Oralmyology refers to the type healthcare that focuses specifically on the treatment of problems associated with the face, jaw and mouth by working with patients’ muscles to build symmetry and balance for lifelong healthy posture.
We focus on treating myofacial disorders such as incorrect breathing habits, open-mouth or nasal breathing, improper tongue tie, migraines, unhealthy facial posture, problems chewing and digesting, TMJD, or facial and muscle balance issue.

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!
