Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can Myofunctional Therapy help me?

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy helps retrain orofacial muscles to perform its functions correctly. 

We focus on improving nasal breathing, chewing and swallowing, and optimizing the rest posture of the lips and tongue.
 

2. What are the benefits of Orofacial Myofunctional therapy? 

When the goals of myofunctional therapy are achieved we may see a variety of improvements. It depends on what the patients’ symptoms are and if they are related to myofunctional disorders. Every single person is going to present with different complaints and issues. 

The most common improvements my patients have reported are: 

• more restful sleep, 

• more energy and focus, 

• dreaming more often, 

• improvement with allergies 

• Less dark circles under the eyes 

• chewing improvement

3. What age range do you work with?

Filing insurance would take way too much time away from patient care. We have decided NOT to provide superbills anymore since you would need a letter of medical necessity from your primary doctor. Thanks for understanding.

14. How does therapy work?

We start with a consultation with Renata - photos need to be uploaded to the portal prior to this appointment. This appointment takes about one hour. We review all of the photos and videos and write a step-by-step recommendation for the patient.

The following appointment is a  Myofunctional Therapy Assessment where we assess, breathing, chewing, swallowing, and muscle movement. Based on these findings we come up with a treatment plan.

The third step are your therapy sessions.

Key points are - good lighting and a fast Internet service (do a speed check on google).
 

After the consultation you will get a bag of tools in the mail that will be used for therapy. Keep them in a safe place. Items can be replaced with an extra cost. 

Therapy appointments are usually weekly and last 30-45min. We make a few exceptions for every other week appointments.
