Supporting Orofacial, Dental, and Airway Health
Specialist Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy for Children and Adults
At Myofunctional Therapy UK, our multidisciplinary team provides personalised Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) and complementary therapies to support healthy breathing, oral function and overall wellbeing.
Following a comprehensive assessment, we create an individual treatment programme designed to help patients achieve the four key goals of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy:
-
Nasal breathing – day and night
-
Lips together at rest
-
Correct tongue posture
-
A functional swallow
Where appropriate, OMT may be integrated with complementary therapies, including Buteyko Breathing, acupuncture, TMJ therapy, craniosacral therapy and fascia release, providing a personalised approach tailored to each patient's needs.
We work closely with dentists, orthodontists, ENT specialists, speech and language therapists, osteopaths, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals to ensure our care complements your wider healthcare journey.
Patients seek our support for concerns including mouth breathing, tongue-tie rehabilitation, orthodontic stability, TMJ dysfunction, sleep-disordered breathing and dysfunctional oral habits. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual and based on a comprehensive assessment, current evidence and clinical expertise.
Our multidisciplinary team includes GDC-registered dental professionals and practitioners registered with their respective professional bodies. Every member of our team practises within their professional qualifications, scope of practice and regulatory or professional framework, ensuring safe, ethical and patient-centred care.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a non-invasive, exercise-based therapy that focuses on improving the function and coordination of the muscles of the face, mouth and tongue. It supports the development of healthy oral habits and helps improve breathing patterns, swallowing and oral muscle function.
In simple terms
OMT helps retrain the muscles of the face and mouth to work more efficiently. The aim is to support comfortable nasal breathing, correct tongue posture, an efficient swallow and balanced muscle function, which may contribute to improved oral health, comfort and overall wellbeing.
