Is Your Smile—or Your Child's—Telling a Story?
Uncover if Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is the Right Path for You or Your Loved One
Mouth Breathing
Persistent mouth breathing can lead to structural changes in the face and smile, which Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) can help correct.
Tongue Positioning
Visible tongue between teeth during speech or rest suggests a tongue thrust issue, which OMT can correct to improve speech, swallowing, and smile aesthetics.
Crowded/Misaligned Teeth
Facial asymmetry in the smile might hint at muscle imbalances that OMT can address, leading to a more balanced, symmetrical smile.
Teeth Grinding
Do you or your child struggle with teeth grinding? It's important to address this issue to prevent dental damage and discomfort. OMT can help you conquer teeth grinding and safeguard your smile.
From surviving to thriving, we're with you on this journey.
Our patient’s lifelong health is our ultimate goal. Our Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) could be the key to unlocking your or a loved one’s healthiest self, focusing on four vital elements: nasal breathing, tongue posture, swallowing pattern, and lip seal. By mastering these skills, you’ll be taking the first steps toward remarkable health benefits that could dramatically enhance both present and future life. Embrace the journey toward a healthier life with Charlotte Myo.
01.
Nasal Breathing:
Establishing healthy breathing habits early with our OMT program can lead to lifelong benefits, like better sleep, more energy, and improved concentration, setting the foundation for an active, alert, and productive life.
02.
Correct Swallowing Pattern:
Early intervention to establish a correct swallowing pattern can prevent future dental issues, leading to better oral health and fewer orthodontic concerns throughout life.
03.
Proper Tongue Posture:
Starting therapy early to correct tongue posture can contribute to clearer speech, better facial symmetry, and improved confidence that can open doors to positive social interactions throughout life.
04.
Lips Sealed at Rest:
Training the lips to stay sealed at rest early in life can help to promote healthier breathing, better oral hygiene, and improved facial aesthetics for the long term.
