Absolutely! Myofunctional therapy is beneficial at any age. Adults often seek treatment to improve breathing, sleep quality, jaw comfort, tongue posture, swallowing, orthodontic stability, or recovery following a tongue-tie release.

All appointments are conducted through secure video conferencing. During your sessions, you'll receive personalized instruction, demonstrations, guided practice, and a customized home exercise program. Between visits, you'll practice your exercises at home and we'll monitor your progress together.

We work with children, teens, and adults. Young children may need a parent or caregiver present during sessions to assist with exercises and reinforce practice at home.

Yes. Since myofunctional therapy relies heavily on coaching, observation, and consistent home practice, telehealth can be an excellent option. Success depends on regular attendance, completing home exercises, and following your individualized treatment plan.

A clinical and functional evaluation is required before beginning myofunctional therapy. These evaluations help us understand your individual needs, establish a baseline, and make sure myofunctional therapy is the right place to begin.Clinical Evaluation:The clinical evaluation gives us an opportunity to discuss your concerns and goals, review your needs, and determine whether myofunctional therapy is appropriate for you at this time. In some cases, it may be beneficial to see another healthcare professional or specialty first so that an underlying concern can be addressed before beginning therapy.For most people, myofunctional therapy can begin without any concerns. However, there are times when postponing therapy or addressing another area first may be the better use of your time and resources. Our goal is to make sure you are starting therapy at the right time and with the right approach for your needs.Functional Evaluation:The functional evaluation looks at how efficiently your muscles and oral structures are working together during breathing, chewing, and swallowing. This assessment provides us with a baseline of your current function and helps identify areas that may benefit from therapy.The information gathered during both evaluations is used to develop an individualized treatment plan and guide your therapy protocol.Once the evaluations are complete, we can begin myofunctional therapy with a clear understanding of where you are starting and how we can best support your goals.

Your initial clinical evaluation includes a comprehensive review of your health history, concerns, breathing patterns, oral habits and more. Based on the evaluation, we'll discuss whether myofunctional therapy is appropriate and develop a personalized treatment plan. If myofunctional therapy can begin, the next appointment will be the functional evaluation. You will be sent a therapy kit prior to the appointment. We will take measurements and assess the function of your mouth and airway. This gives us the baseline from which we can begin therapy.

Prior to the initial or clinical evaluation, you will need to submit a health history and photos of your posture and mouth. Don't worry, I will direct you each step of the way and have a guide for which photos are needed/how to take them. The functional evaluation requires a myofunctional therapy kit that I will send you. There is no additional charge for the kit. However, if the appointment is cancelled without rescheduling, a $25 fee will be charged to the account to cover the materials sent.

Yes. Myofunctional therapy is commonly recommended before and after a tongue-tie release (frenectomy). Therapy helps prepare the oral muscles before the procedure and supports healing, mobility, and long-term functional outcomes afterward.

Yes. Myofunctional therapy can complement orthodontic treatment by improving tongue posture, swallowing patterns, nasal breathing, and muscle function. These improvements may help support long-term orthodontic stability.

No referral is required. However, we often collaborate with orthodontists, dentists, ENTs, speech-language pathologists, lactation consultants, and other healthcare providers to provide comprehensive care.

Every child develops differently, but many children begin therapy around age 4 when they can follow directions and actively participate in exercises. Readiness is determined during the evaluation rather than by age alone.

Most clients should expect to practice their exercises for approximately 5–15 minutes. Daily practice is essential for building new muscle patterns and achieving lasting improvement.
