Full Assessment - Orofacial Myofunctional Consultation
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) treatment for children over 2 years old and adults starts with an assessment of the patient in a consultation. This assessment lasts up to 90 minutes, split into two halves - work-ups and assessment.
The full Orofacial Myofunctional Consultation looks at orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), dental health and tethered oral tissues (TOTs). We also screen for airway health issues, sleep disordered breathing (SDB), digestive issues, postural issues and primitive reflex retention.
The following will be assessed at the consultation:
Breathing, dentition, occlusion, swallowing, airway issues, soft tissues, muscles, tongue and lip ties (TOTs), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, speech disorders, digestive issues, body and head posture and primitive reflex issues.
We will take photos, videos and measurements, including blood pressure and TMJ pain scales.
The assessment considers the interaction of how atypical movement patterns result in structural changes, and how structural anomalies impact functional skills. We will discuss a plan of treatment, the length of the therapy and what will be involved. We may also recommend other external clinicians if needed (e.g. an ENT). During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss all the information relating to the assessment.
The Assessment is split into 2 halves:
Part 1. This is a Face-to-Face work-up session with one of our Assistant Therapists in either our Harley Street clinic (central London) or Raynes Park clinic (SW London) to take photos, videos and measurements in preparation for the assessment (up to 45 minutes).
Part 2. This is a Face-to-Face or Online Assessment (depending on the clinician) roughly a week after the work-ups are done to allow time for the information to be prepared, with one of our lead therapists (up to 45 minutes).
The Full Consultation cost is: £385.00
The outcome of the assessment will be explained verbally at the consultation.
We will also send you a basic assessment report roughly a week after the assessment. This is a written summary of the findings of the consultation and is included in the consultation fee.
Should the patient wish, a Full Assessment Report can be produced and emailed approximately 3 weeks after the consultation. The Full Assessment Report cost is: £150.00.
This report will include all clinical data findings, photos taken and highlight what was observed at the consultation and will include clinical references.
Patients do not need to wait for the report in order to start treatment.
The photos taken at the work-ups are only valid for 6 weeks. If a patient wishes to start therapy more than 6 weeks after the photos have been taken, a new work-ups session will be required and charged for (at a cost of £64.50) as much can change withing 6 weeks.
The Assessment is valid for 6 months. If the patient wishes to start therapy more than 6 months after the assessment has taken place, a new assessment will be required including a new work-ups session.

Is Infant OroBlend Assessment right for your baby?

Our Infant and Special Needs Oroblend program for babies is not called Myofunctional Therapy or based on Myofunctional Therapy principles. This is because it is unlikely that a young infant would be able to follow Myofunctional exercises instructions. Our infant and Special Needs Oroblend program is short and very dependent on the infant's primitive reflexes and developmental stages. It utilises primitive reflexes, cranial nerve integration and sensory systems as a base to engage the child's primal orofacial functions. Our work includes a unique and specially blended sequence of techniques, put together by our team for each individual case. These may include a combination of paediatric cranial osteopathy, infant clinical massotherapy, intra oral and extra oral gentle facial release, and Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) techniques. These are our founder's (Yulli Tamayo-Myerson) very own protocols. She has treated to date many babies using these minimally invasive protocols with very good results. Her team is currently working on publishing her work in the future. Our Myofunctional Therapy UK therapists are the only clinicians trained and mentored by Yulli. Yulli has never run courses or training workshops. This may change in the future.
