Frequently Asked Questions
What is orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT)?Orofacial myofunctional therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps improve oral muscle function and oral resting posture. It can support healthier breathing patterns, better sleep quality, and improved oral function by addressing habits and patterns such as mouth breathing, tongue thrust, and improper tongue posture.
Do I need a referral?A referral is not required to schedule a discovery call or an evaluation. Many clients are referred by dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, pediatricians, or other providers, but you are welcome to reach out directly.
Do you accept Insurance?Myofunctional therapy is often considered an out-of-pocket service, and coverage varies by plan. We can provide a detailed receipt (superbill) upon request so you can check reimbursement options with your insurance provider.
What can I expect in a 15-minute discovery call?The discovery call is a brief conversation to learn what concerns you’re noticing, answer basic questions, and determine whether a comprehensive evaluation may be a good next step. It’s a helpful first step for parents and adults who are new to myofunctional therapy.
Is myofunctional therapy appropriate for adults?Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.Yes. Adults often pursue therapy for concerns such as mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding, TMJ discomfort, and long-standing oral muscle patterns. Therapy focuses on building healthier habits that support breathing, sleep quality, and overall function.
How long does therapy take?Every plan is individualized. Duration depends on the goals, starting patterns, consistency with home practice, and whether care is coordinated with other providers (for example, orthodontics or airway-related care). You’ll receive a recommended plan after the evaluation.
