What is an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist and How Can They Help?

Orofacial myofunctional therapists are specialist doctors, who believe in treating the whole body as a result of oral and facial disorders. These specialists help patients manage their day-to-day pain from chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Myofunctional therapists allow patients to receive more peaceful nights’ sleep and stable, full control of their facial muscles. Following their treatments, the patient can resume their day-to-day lifestyle as usual.

People who are affected by myofunctional disorders have difficulty chewing and swallowing food. They often have discomfort during or after eating, as well as during speech movements, such as talking and speaking. The symptoms of these functional oral soft tissue disorders may also include: jaw pain

OMTs therapists is a type of therapist who specializes in helping people with issues with their facial muscles and jaw. OMTs can help people with a wide range of issues, from problems with chewing and swallowing to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain.

There are a few things that make an OMT unique compared to other types of therapists. First, OMTs have specifically trained in working with the facial muscles and jaw. This means they have a better understanding of how these muscles function and how to help them function better. Additionally, OMTs typically work with patients one-on-one, which allows them to provide more personalized treatment.
