Dr. Carmack has completed the Foundations in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy course through the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT). Through this training she is able to treat children and adults with Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs).
What Is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy is a specialized program of exercises that retrains the muscles of the face, tongue, and mouth to function properly.
Just like physical therapy strengthens and coordinates the body’s muscles, myofunctional therapy helps improve the way you breathe, swallow, speak, and rest your tongue and lips.
By correcting improper muscle patterns, this therapy promotes balanced oral function, supports healthy facial development, and encourages proper nasal breathing — leading to better sleep, improved posture, and overall wellness.
What Does Myofunctional Therapy Help With?
Myofunctional therapy can benefit individuals dealing with:
- Mouth breathing – Encourages healthy nasal breathing and supports proper oxygen flow.
- Tongue thrust or swallowing issues – Retrains tongue movement to protect teeth and jaw alignment.
- Speech challenges – Strengthens oral muscles for clearer and more confident speech.
- Snoring and mild sleep apnea – Improves airway function and muscle tone to enhance sleep quality.
- Orthodontic relapse – Helps maintain orthodontic results by reinforcing correct oral posture.
- TMJ discomfort – Promotes balanced muscle use and reduces jaw tension or pain.
Benefits of Myofunctional Therapy
Patients often notice meaningful improvements, including:
- Better breathing and sleep
- Enhanced facial balance and development
- Stronger, more coordinated oral muscles
- Long-term support for dental and orthodontic health
- Greater overall comfort and well-being
Who Can Benefit?
Myofunctional therapy is effective for children, teens, and adults.
It’s especially helpful for people who mouth breathe, snore, experience tongue-tie, speech difficulties, or airway-related sleep problems.
