Spot On Orofacial Myology offers customised orofacial myofunctional therapy programmes for the evaluation and treatment of abnormal facial and oral muscle function in children. The goals of orofacial myofunctional therapy are to:
• Achieve nasal breathing (day and night) with lip seal
• Have the tongue resting on the roof of the mouth
• The cessation of non-nutritive sucking (e.g. thumb/finger/du
mmy)
and chewing habits
• Bilateral chewing with lip seal and nasal breathing
Tongue-tie assessment, referral and pre and post release therapy is also a major focus. Orofacial myologists work in a multi-disciplinary environment to support patients in the rehabilitation of muscle function and habit cessation and enhance the outcomes of their patient's care. This can include Ear Nose and Throat specialists, Oral Surgeons, Orthodontists, Speech Pathologists, Paediatricians, General Practitioners, General Dental and Medical Practitioners, Chiropractors and Osteopaths.
