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

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?
After our consult you will get 2 emails.

One from our software (simple practice) asking you to fill out paperwork.

Another from me - it’s a welcome email with all the information you will need throughout therapy. Please save this email where it will be easy to find. *Check your Spam
There you also find a document with all of the photos that need to be taken. Please read the instructions so we get great starting photos.
You can upload your photos to the patient portal or upload them to the link you will receive in your email.
On the welcome email you will also find the tools you will need to bring for the full evaluation appointment. It takes about 1 hour.
Key points are - good lighting and a fast Internet service
After the full evaluation 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.
