Frequently Asked Questions

  • Myofunctional therapy is a natural, exercise-based program that targets dysfunctions of the muscles of the face, mouth, and airway. It helps improve breathing, swallowing, chewing, and oral posture—often reducing symptoms like snoring, TMD, and mouth breathing.

    Therapy supports those with:

    • Mouth breathing and nasal congestion

    • TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) and jaw pain

    • Sleep-disordered breathing and diagnosed sleep apnea

    • Tongue-ties (pre- and post-frenectomy support)

    • Orthodontic relapse or poor alignment

    • Speech challenges and oral habits (e.g., thumb sucking)

  • If you or your child struggle with mouth breathing, snoring, tongue-tie, TMJ pain, orthodontic relapse, speech issues, or chronic congestion, myofunctional therapy may help. We offer a free online assessment to determine the need level HERE

    We offer a complementary consultation to review your concerns, answer all of your questions and recommend the best next steps.

  • We invite you to start with a no-cost, no-obligation consultation virtually. During this 1-on-1 session, our therapist will inquire about your child’s breathing patterns, sleep, and oral habits. We’ll discuss your concerns (from mouth breathing to behavior to orthodontic questions) and determine if myofunctional therapy is a good fit. You’ll walk away with answers and a plan – and a little more peace of mind.

  • At this time, myofunctional therapy is not typically covered by medical insurance. While we know that can be frustrating, it's important to note that many holistic health services — like chiropractic care and lactation consulting — were once in the same position. Just 15 years ago, they were often paid for out-of-pocket too. Today, those services are widely recognized and covered.

    Myofunctional therapy is a growing field, and we’re hopeful that insurance coverage will follow as awareness and demand continue to rise. In the meantime, we strive to offer flexible options and transparent pricing to make care accessible for the families we serve.

    If you’d like, we can provide superbills for you to submit for HSA/FSA eligibility. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about how we can support you on this journey.
