What is oral myofunctional therapy?
Oral myofunctional therapy (OMT) is a neuromuscular re-education program that strengthens and retrains the muscles of the face and tongue. Through tailored exercises, we help restore normal function by eliminating muscle movement compensations. This therapy improves chewing, swallowing, breathing patterns, and overall airway health.

Common questions about myofunctional therapy
How does Myofunctional Therapy improve sleep apnea?
Myofunctional therapy strengthens the muscles of the tongue, soft palate, and airway, helping to keep the airway open during sleep. Research shows that OMT reduces the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) by approximately 50% in adults and 62% in children.
Is Myofunctional Therapy only for people with sleep disorders?
No! While OMT is beneficial for managing sleep apnea and snoring, it also helps improve muscle function related to chewing, swallowing, posture, and TMJ pain.
How long does the therapy take to show results?
Most patients start noticing improvements within a few weeks, though full benefits are achieved after consistent practice over several months.
