Sometimes, everyday patterns such as mouth breathing, snoring, difficulty chewing or swallowing, tongue posture, oral habits, or certain speech patterns can raise questions for parents.
At OMT of New York, we’re here to help you understand what you’re noticing and guide your child through a personalized, age-appropriate approach to Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.
We look at how your child breathes, sleeps, chews, swallows, speaks, and uses their tongue and orofacial muscles to better understand their individual needs.
Through education, targeted exercises, and supportive guidance, we help children develop healthier functional patterns in a positive and comfortable environment.
Guiding their development. Supporting their journey.
Guiding your child toward healthier development.
Every child is unique, and every stage of development brings new changes.
Could your child benefit from an evaluation?
Some everyday patterns may be worth paying attention to:
01
Sleeps with their mouth open, drools, or snores.
02
Has a persistent habit of thumb-sucking or using a pacifier.
03
You notice teeth coming in crowded, misaligned, or rotated.
04
Has difficulty pronouncing certain sounds.
Learning through play. Growing with confidence.
We know children learn best when they feel comfortable, engaged, and encouraged. That’s why we make Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy a positive experience through playful activities and age-appropriate exercises.
Each session is designed to help children practice important functional skills related to breathing, tongue function, chewing, swallowing, speech, and oral habits while building confidence along the way.
We also give parents practical tools and simple activities to support their child’s progress at home, making therapy easier to integrate into everyday life.
