Step 1: Discovery Consultation

Not sure if Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is right for you or your child? This complimentary 15-minute consultation is the perfect place to start.

During this phone or virtual consultation, we'll discuss your concerns, review any symptoms or diagnoses, and determine whether a comprehensive myofunctional evaluation is appropriate. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, learn about the therapy process, and understand what to expect moving forward.

This consultation is informational and is not a diagnostic evaluation. If therapy appears to be a good fit, we'll guide you through the next steps and schedule a comprehensive assessment.

Step 2: Comprehensive Assessment

A comprehensive myofunctional assessment provides an in-depth evaluation of the muscles and functions of the mouth, face, and airway. During this appointment, we assess breathing patterns, tongue posture and mobility, lip function, swallowing, chewing, speech, oral habits, facial muscle function, and other factors that may contribute to your concerns.

Your assessment may also include measurements, photographs, videos, and standardized screening tools to establish a baseline and guide treatment planning.

Following the evaluation, you will receive a detailed explanation of the findings, individualized recommendations, and, if appropriate, a personalized treatment plan with clear goals and an estimated timeline for therapy. If additional referrals are indicated (such as to an ENT, dentist, orthodontist, sleep physician, or other specialist), these recommendations will also be discussed.

Our goal is to identify the underlying causes of dysfunction—not just the symptoms—so that your treatment is personalized, effective, and designed to support lasting improvements in breathing, oral function, and overall quality of life.

Step 3: Choose Your Treatment Path

Following your comprehensive assessment, we'll recommend the treatment approach that best aligns with your goals, clinical needs, and lifestyle.
