Have you noticed that your child breathes through their mouth instead of their nose? Or are they having a difficult time chewing their food? Maybe they can’t say certain sounds correctly because their tongue is pushing past their teeth.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, they could have an Orofacial Myofunctional Disorder. At ICS Studio, we can look at your child’s teeth and jaw and evaluate whether they may benefit from Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT).
What Is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy?
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a type of treatment that helps correct oral and facial muscle habits.
OMT can improve chewing, swallowing, speaking and breathing by:
- Correcting tongue posture
- Improving lip coordination
- Improving speech
- Eliminating thumb sucking
- Eliminating pacifier use
- Coordinating jaw movements
Why Consider OMT?
Some of the benefits of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy include the following:
- Better dental health
- Reduced sleep issues
- Enhanced speech
- Improved chewing
