MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY SOLUTIONS
Brandee Snedicor, OMT
I practiced dental hygiene for eighteen years before becoming a myofunctional therapist. It wasn't until my oldest daughter was diagnosed with orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) that I became aware of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT).
When I learned about OMDs, I not only discovered that I had many of the symptoms associated with these disorders as well, but my youngest daughter did too, and I had to explore it more.
Myofunctional therapy has been in practice for over a hundred years but is not as well known throughout the United States.
Proper tongue placement and evaluation for tongue restrictions are not routine examinations performed in medical or dental evaluations. Low resting tongue posture and tongue restrictions are just a couple of the OMDs that, if left untreated, can directly or indirectly affect breathing, sleep apnea, TMJ pain, and more.
We experienced many of these symptoms and finally had a solution to chronic conditions that other therapy was unsuccessful with.
My personal experience inspired me to help others on their own health and wellness journey.

THE FOUNDATION
The 4 Goals of OMT
Orofacial myofunctional therapy focuses on improving normal function of the head, mouth, and neck muscles.
01
Nasal Breathing
Nasal breathing is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health and well-being. Nasal breathing filters and warms the air we breathe which protects our bodies from toxins., pollutants and allergens. Nasal breathing also supports optimal facial skeletal growth and development.
02
Proper Tongue Placement
Proper tongue placement supports optimal facial skeletal development, improved quality of sleep, nasal breathing, and more.
03
Lip Seal
Helps normalize breathing, and looks more esthetically pleasing.
04
Correct Swallow
Helps with jaw stability and proper muscle function.
