Our first step of treatment is a 60-90 minute comprehensive assessment. This assessment includes a full questionnaire and medical history to get a background of which OMD's or health conditions are affecting you or your child's daily life. We will also be assessing function through a variety of different tasks, recording measurements and taking pictures or videos. Once this step is completed we will come up with a treatment plan that we will utilize over the course of 4-12 months.
We need to complete a habit elimination program for patients that have noxious habits before we start therapy in order to have the best success with treatment. Habits that need to be eliminated may include thumb or finger sucking, nail biting or picking, and pacifier use.
Over the course of 4-12 months we will meet virtually or sometimes (if possible) in person to complete 30-40 minute sessions. We may suggest the need to work with other providers prior to starting sessions or throughout treatment to get the best outcome. Our first sessions will be more frequent but will eventually turn into maintenance until the program is completed. Each session will include exercises to be done at home 2-3 times daily. YOUR compliance is key!

Improper oral rest posture is often a indicator or causative factor for the OMD's listed throughout the website but Orofacial Myology or Myofunctional Therapy is not a cure or treatment for OMD's. By correcting our oral rest posture there is an increased possibility to relieve said OMD's.
