OMT Therapy Programs
Initial Assessment
Comprehensive Initial Assessment for Myofunctional Therapy in Toronto
Our 90-minute Initial Assessment is conducted in-person with strict safety protocols to ensure the highest quality and most comprehensive evaluation. We prioritize in-person consultations to ensure a thorough, hands-on evaluation of orofacial function and to build a collaborative relationship with each client. During this session, we will:
- Take clinical photographs and gather an extensive medical and dental history.
- Evaluate the function of all orofacial muscles.
- Conduct a detailed breathing assessment.
- Determine the precise need and scope for Myofunctional Therapy.
Following the in-person assessment, the therapy itself can be conveniently conducted online, allowing for continued vital face care from the comfort of your home.
Habit Elimination Program
Oral Habit Elimination Program
This program, typically spanning 30 days, is designed for clients aged 4 years and older who need to eliminate persistent oral habits such as thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use, nail biting, and more. This crucial step is necessary before starting full Myofunctional Therapy in Toronto, as these habits can significantly disrupt the establishment of proper muscle function.
After successfully eliminating these habits, we highly recommend continuing with a comprehensive Myofunctional Therapy program. This will help focus on the four core goals of vital face care and ensure long-term functional health.
Mini-Myo Program
Mini-Myo Program (Ages 3-6)
This fun and interactive program, part of our myofunctional therapy offerings in Toronto, is specifically designed for our youngest clients, typically aged 3 to 6 years old, and consists of 4 to 6 sessions. Appointments are scheduled monthly to ensure consistent progress and lasting habit formation. The program focuses on establishing the four core pillars of orofacial health: nasal breathing, proper lip seal, tongue posture, and swallowing pattern. It is important to note that the success of the program will depend on the child’s level of maturity and the parents’ commitment to achieving the goals, making it an essential aspect of vital face care.
Treatment Program
Core Myofunctional Therapy Program (Ages 6+)
This comprehensive myofunctional therapy program is typically recommended for clients aged 6 and above and serves as the foundation for lasting functional change. Pre- and post-frenectomy care is seamlessly integrated into the program when necessary. The average duration is 6 to 9 months. Each 30-minute session teaches a series of personalized exercises designed to achieve the four main goals of myofunctional therapy and directly address your specific symptoms:
Nasal Breathing: Promoting and establishing habitual nasal breathing throughout the day and night to optimize respiratory function and support proper orofacial development.
Lips Together at Rest: Encouraging a complete and consistent lip seal at rest to prevent mouth breathing and maintain a balanced orofacial environment.
Correct Tongue Posture at Rest: Achieving a resting tongue posture where the entire tongue is positioned against the roof of the mouth (the palate), which is crucial for proper swallowing, breathing, and jaw development.
Correct Swallowing Pattern: Retraining the muscles to perform a correct, mature swallow (also known as a lingual-palatal swallow) that does not involve the tongue thrusting forward or sideways against the teeth.
Commitment is Key: OMT is a process of neuro-muscular re-education. Achieving optimal, long-term results requires consistent daily practice and commitment to changing subconscious habits. Your dedication to the exercises is the most critical factor in your success. For those in Toronto seeking vital face care, this program provides an essential approach to improving oral and facial function.
