THE FOUR TREATMENT GOALS

  • Nasal Breathing

    Nasal breathing is your body’s built-in superpower—cleansing the air, boosting oxygen, and supporting sleep, focus, and healthy facial development!

  • Proper Lip Seal

    A proper lip seal keeps the mouth closed, supports nasal breathing, and sets the stage for healthy facial growth and oral function—it’s a small habit that makes a big difference!

  • Tongue Posture

    Good tongue posture is like the secret MVP—it helps shape the face, supports clear speech, and keeps breathing and swallowing on point!

  • Swallowing Pattern

    A proper swallowing pattern keeps everything in sync—protecting teeth, supporting digestion, and even helping your face grow the way it’s meant to!

SO, WHAT’S NEXT?

STEP 1: GUIDANCE CALL

A focused introductory conversation — fifteen to thirty minutes — to get acquainted, talk through your goals, and walk through what Myofunctional Therapy truly involves. Come with any questions on your mind. You'll leave with clarity on exactly what comes next. There is no charge for this call.

STEP 2: CLINICAL & FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT

This one-on-one appointment is a comprehensive look at the full picture — your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and clinical and functional findings — to identify what may be contributing to your concerns.

During your visit, we'll take a series of facial and intraoral photographs and complete a full clinical and functional evaluation — assessing how your muscles and oral functions perform in real time, including the habits and movement patterns behind breathing, chewing, swallowing, speech, tongue posture, and oral rest posture.

Together, these findings establish your functional baseline and help determine whether Myofunctional Therapy is right for you, which areas need support, and how a treatment plan should be customized to you.

Your results, findings, and recommended next steps will be reviewed with you at your following appointment.

STEP 3: YOUR PERSONALIZED PLAN

At this appointment, we'll carefully review your photos and the results of your clinical and functional assessment together — including how the findings may relate to breathing, sleep, facial growth, oral function, and overall health.

By the end of the appointment, you'll receive a personalized clinical summary and a clear, step-by-step action plan. This may include referrals to other healthcare providers or recommendations for additional testing, such as a sleep study, orthodontic or ENT evaluation, tongue-tie assessment, imaging, or other supportive therapies when appropriate.

The goal of this appointment is to help you understand your complete clinical picture and determine the most appropriate next steps before therapy begins.

What You'll Leave With:

✓ A clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms

✓ Your three most important next steps

✓ Personalized referrals, when appropriate

✓ A written summary of your clinical findings
