Orofacial what?
We know. It's a mouthful. (Pun fully intended.)
Orofacial myofunctional therapy β OMT β is basically physiotherapy for your mouth. It retrains the muscles of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and throat so that breathing, swallowing, and speaking can happen the way they're supposed to.
When those muscle patterns are off, kids (and adults) can struggle with things that seem totally unrelated β mouth breathing, disrupted sleep, difficulty chewing, speech delays, and more.
OMT doesn't just treat the symptoms. It works on the underlying patterns that drive them. And because it ties directly into airway health, frenectomy recovery, and speech therapy, it's a core part of the coordinated care we offer at Luna.
It's one of those things where once you understand it, you start seeing it everywhere. π
