Patient Commitment for Success
The muscles of the face and mouth are designed to work together in a collaborative effort. By recognizing an orofacial myofunctional dysfunction early, you can help a child or adult overcome the hurdles that prevent them from using their mouths properly.
For success using this therapy, consistent daily exercises are necessary until the patient has eliminated improper muscle pattern. Therapy takes a commitment by the patient and the patient’s family. Treatment usually consists of a foundational program of exercises over a six to 12-month period, although treatment length may vary depending on individual needs.
