Best for mouth breathers, thumb sucking, and orthodontic support.

We serve children, teens, and adults.

The AOMT* explains that “Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) are disorders of the muscles and functions of the face and mouth. OMDs may affect, directly and/or indirectly, breastfeeding, facial skeletal growth, and development, chewing, swallowing, speech, occlusion, temporomandibular joint movement, oral hygiene, stability of orthodontic treatment, facial esthetics, and more”.

 

Here in BrainStorm Speech therapy, we can help to:

• Optimize nasal breathing 

• Achieve proper resting posture for oral structures

• Optimize chewing and swallowing 

• Eliminate the use of unhealthy muscle compensatory patterns 

• Correct placement for sound production
