Get Help Breaking Unhealthy Habits

Team up with a myofunctional therapist in Boise, ID, proudly serving clients from Meridian, ID, as well.

The muscles in your mouth are always at work-helping you breathe, swallow, and function every day. When these muscles are weak or untrained, it can lead to maladaptive habits that impact how you eat and speak.

This condition, called an orofacial myofunctional disorder (OMD), is treatable. At My OMT of Idaho, our Boise-based myofunctional therapist works with patients to address a variety of oral disorders. Through guided techniques and personalized exercises, you can strengthen and retrain your oral and facial muscles for healthier function.

To schedule your myofunctional therapy appointment, call our office at 208-631-0371. We proudly welcome patients from Boise, Meridian, and the surrounding areas.

What are the symptoms of an OMD?

Since the mouth is a key part of the body that performs a variety of functions, an OMD can manifest in many different ways. You might have an orofacial myofunctional disorder (OMD) if you experience...
 

  • Difficulty chewing or breathing properly
  • Improper head and neck posture
  • Temporomandibular disorders
  • Periodontal disease
  • Speech problems
  • Sleep apnea
  • Headaches


Our myofunctional therapist can collaborate with your primary physician and orthodontist to determine if you have an OMD and develop an effective path forward. Find out more by contacting us today.

An OMD can be diagnosed in children as young as four years old, and myofunctional therapy can help these children develop proper oral habits as they grow. My OMT of Idaho can work with children to fix problems that might develop from habits like thumb sucking, teeth grinding or extended use of pacifiers or sippy cups.

If you're an adult suffering from an OMD, you can still see results. No one is too old to begin myofunctional therapy. Our therapist can work with you to change a lifetime of unhealthy habits.

Call us today to get started on a long-term solution to your orofacial myofunctional disorder (OMD).
