Here’s how we approach myofunctional therapy:

1. Personalized Assessment:

Before we begin any therapy program, we conduct a thorough assessment of your oral function. This includes evaluating your breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speech patterns. We also consider your unique goals and any underlying conditions. This assessment allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

2. Comprehensive Therapy:

Our certified myofunctional therapists use evidence-based techniques and exercises to address muscle imbalances and dysfunctional oral habits. We focus on:

  • Breathing: Correcting improper breathing patterns to improve oxygen intake and overall health.
  • Oral Posture: Training proper tongue and lip posture for enhanced speech and facial development.
  • Swallowing: Eliminating dysfunctional swallowing patterns that can lead to issues like sleep apnea and dental problems.
  • Chewing: Enhancing chewing efficiency for better digestion and oral health.
  • Speech: Improving articulation and clarity through muscle training.

3. Education and Awareness:

We believe that empowering you with knowledge is key to successful therapy. We provide education about the importance of myofunctional therapy and how it can positively impact your life. We help you understand the connection between oral function and overall well-being.

4. Ongoing Support:

Your journey to improved oral health doesn’t end with therapy sessions. We offer ongoing support and guidance to ensure that you continue to practice and maintain the skills you’ve learned. We’re here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and celebrate your progress.

5. Collaboration:

We work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, and sleep specialists, to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to your care. Collaboration allows us to address all aspects of your oral and facial health.

6. Monitoring and Progress Tracking:

Throughout your therapy, we track your progress and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. We celebrate your achievements and work together to overcome any challenges that may arise.

7. Empowerment for a Lifetime:

Our goal is to empower you with the skills and knowledge needed to maintain optimal oral function for a lifetime. We want you to smile with confidence and enjoy the benefits of improved oral health well beyond your time at Metro Speech Therapy.
