Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy Program
Once the New Patient Comprehensive Exam is complete, a personalized Myofunctional Therapy treatment plan ranging in price and duration will be tailored specifically to your needs. A typical therapy program consists of 12-15 sessions, with each session focusing on returning true functionality to the orofacial complex and eliminating dysfunctional breathing patterns and habits.
These 12-15 session therapy programs will be completed over six to nine months. The appointments are held online utilizing a video conference format and are conducted every two to three weeks in 40-minute sessions.
For success using this therapy, consistently doing the recommended daily exercises are essential in eliminating improper muscle function. These exercises require minimal time commitment of only 5 minutes, twice a day.
