           Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is a series
of daily exercises over a 4-12 month period to re-pattern and optimize the function of the
tongue and facial muscles to correct dysfunctional breathing, swallowing and chewing disorders,
normalize freeway space, help stabilize the bite and eliminate noxious oral habits, such as tongue
thrusting and thumb sucking.

- Many children, teenagers and even adults have retrained and corrected poor swallowing habits and dysfunctional breathing.
- With consistent commitment and support of exercise everyday, which is painless and relatively simple, certain muscles are activated and functioning properly, gaining coordination of the tongue and facial muscles.
- A person can regain the joy of sleeping, eating, speaking and cosmetic improvements, helping restore confidence and self-esteem.
