The Power of Myofunctional Therapy
Unlock the power of your breath and enhance your overall health with myofunctional therapy. Montana Myo provides myofunctional therapy, also known as orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT). This non-invasive treatment utilizes targeted exercises and neuromuscular re-education to improve the function of the muscles in your face, mouth, head, and neck. OMT is beneficial for both adults and children.
The primary goals of OMT are to help you breathe through your nose, seal your lips, maintain proper tongue posture, and develop a correct swallowing pattern. These objectives are crucial for supporting optimal airway function and overall health and well-being. This therapy can address a variety of issues, including:
Sleep-Disordered Breathing
OMT can help with conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), snoring, and chronic mouth breathing.
Oral Health
OMT can help with issues such as tongue-tie, malocclusion, teeth crowding, teeth clenching and grinding, open mouth posture, low tongue posture, and tongue thrust swallow pattern.
Orthodontics
OMT enhances the effectiveness of orthodontic treatments and oral appliances while helping to prevent relapse.
TMJ Disorder
OMT can alleviate symptoms associated with TMJ issues, including headaches and jaw pain or discomfort.
Emotional and Behavioral Health
OMT can support overall emotional well-being by promoting relaxation, improving breathing patterns, enhancing sleep quality, and reducing physical tension, which may help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD/hyperactivity.
Speech Problems
It can contribute to improved speech clarity and articulation.
Craniofacial Growth
OMT promotes proper skull and facial growth as well as airway development.
Sleep Quality
It can enhance sleep quality and increase energy levels.
Digestion
OMT may help alleviate digestive symptoms such as stomachaches, bloating, and acid reflux.
Eliminating Harmful Habits
OMT can help break harmful habits such as thumb sucking, pacifier use, tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing.
