We deal with how the complex muscles in the face and mouth work and function. We train muscles so that patients can speak, chew, swallow, and breathe correctly. We provide restorative therapy, pre-op/post- op therapy, and treat orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs). In other words, (orofacial myofunctional therapy) OMT or (orofacial myology) is a type of palpable regime based on exercises that reprogram muscles and re-balance muscles in and around the mouth, the tongue, and muscles used in swallowing.
