Orofacial  Myology  is  the study  of  normal  and  abnormal  patterns of use  of  the  mouth  and  face, and  their relationships  with  dentition,  speech,  and  vegetative functions.

Orofacial  Myofucnctional  Disorders (OMDs) are disorders  of  the  muscles  and  their  functions  that innervate the  face  and  mouth.   OMDs  may  affect  facial  skeletal  growth  and  development,  chewing,  swallowing, speech,  occlusion,  TMJ  movement, stability  of  orthodontic  treatment,  facial  aesthetics,  and  more.

Myofunctional  Therapy  is  a holistic, non-invasive  approach  to  treating  OMDs.   The program  is  fun  and  progressive for each individual.
