Is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy Right for My Child?

If you’ve landed here, chances are something feels “off” but you can’t quite put your finger on it.

Maybe your child is a mouth breather. Maybe they snore, struggle with chewing, or aren’t making the speech progress you expected. Maybe you’ve been told to “wait and see,” but your gut says otherwise.

That’s where OMT comes in.

What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)?

OMT is a specialised therapy that looks at how your child’s muscles work when they breathe, eat, speak, and sleep.

Rather than just treating the symptoms, we look at the patterns underneath, so your child can grow, learn, and feel better in their body.

OMT May Be a Good Fit If Your Child…

  • Sleeps with their mouth open or snores

  • Has trouble chewing or avoids certain foods

  • Still sucks their thumb or uses a dummy

  • Has unclear speech, even after therapy

  • Drools past toddler age or breathes noisily

  • Wakes up tired or struggles to focus

  • Struggles with sleep, speech, or feeding—and no one can explain why.

Why OMT?

Because little things, like how your child breathes or swallows, can have a big impact on their development. OMT supports the foundations that affect speech, sleep, feeding and even jaw growth. It’s gentle, evidence-based, and completely personalised.
