Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy Sessions

​

Please note, this service is only available to clients to have already completed our full orofacial assessment.

Following the consultation, the client may decide to take our Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) services. Our OMT treatment lasts approximately a year or longer depending on the complexity of the case. The level of complexity of the case will also determine which type of therapy you will need. Yulli works on the more complex cases, with a combination of:

 

• Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

• Dental Hygiene Advice

• Oral Health Education

• TMJ (temporomandibular joint) Therapy

• Dental Acupuncture/acupressure

• Dental Sleep Medicine

• Breathing re-education 

 

A minimum commitment of approximately 10 months is required for a successful outcome and can be a package of either 18 or 23 sessions depending on if a tongue tie release is required. The clinic is open between 10am – 5pm, Monday to Thursday. OMT appointments can be on Skype, face to face or a combination of both, depending on treatment needed, client location and therapist being seen.

 

With our OMT program we will be working to improve and correct the following:

 

1. Tongue posture (there may be a need for a referral to an oral surgeon for a tongue/lip tie release)

2. Open mouth posture

3. Lip seal

4. Dysfunctional breathing

5. Mouth breathing - we will be using Breathing re-education in combination with OMT at no extra charge

6. Oral habits such as thumb sucking, clothing sucking and nail-biting

7. Pre orthodontic therapy

8. Swallowing patterns, correction of tongue thrusting patterns

9. Snoring, teeth clenching and grinding

10. Sleep hygiene

11. TMJ Therapy (may have to be charged separately depending on complexity)

12. We will also look at body posture and walking (you will need to be assessed by a body worker at some point during the therapy)
