Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is used to re-educate the oral facial muscles and help correct functional disorders, including mouth breathing, improper chewing, atypical swallowing and poor tongue rest position. Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD) are often unrecognized in children and adults and can have an effect on breathing, swallow patterns, muscle tension and proper function of chewing foods. OMD's are a symptom of functional and structural changes that lead to abnormal growth and development of the facial structures. TMJ issues, grinding, clenching, nail biting, sleep breathing disorders, tooth pain, headaches, neck pain, these are all possible symptoms of a myofunctional disorder or tongue tie. Our goals are to educate and create awareness of the practice of oral facial myofunctional therapy and help in the individual development and re- education of orofacial muscles to assist in correcting swallow patterns and improve airways in both children and adults. Proper Rest and Swallow At proper rest the tongue should naturally rest on the upper palate within the upper tooth arch and the lips should be sealed. This proper rest position helps in the development of the upper palate and and facial bones. A proper swallow pattern allows the tongue to create a proper seal while swallowing. The front of the tongue should be resting on the palate, while the back of the tongue carries the food to the back of the mouth. Re-educating the muscles The main goals of therapy are to achieve a proper swallow pattern and proper rest position of the orofacial muscles. This includes promoting a lip seal, preventing parafunctional habits, promoting proper chewing patterns and aid in developing an airway and promote nasal breathing. https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/the-space daily 0.75 2020-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584556864750-GEAHB71WBY3EYL51Y64T/DP1.png The Space The Space - Kingsmill Dental Hygiene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584556804239-XZHWZ4FALPJVE0O5QE58/DP2.png The Space The Space - Kingsmill Dental Hygiene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584556773742-NRYUAYKBFA9JQ07IMQZ9/DP3.jpg The Space The Space - Kingsmill Dental Hygiene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584556772842-OS2KCB9AVLYJ1N4R8RI0/DP4.jpg The Space The Space - Kingsmill Dental Hygiene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584556772724-LNZSC8N3WUGJS5BM0YGZ/DP5.jpg The Space The Space - Kingsmill Dental Hygiene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584556773475-52OZXNQYPDTU6Z1EAKLU/DP6.jpg The Space The Space - Kingsmill Dental Hygiene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584556776818-H2NWL3RV7QUNZQY37OZH/DP7.jpg The Space The Space - Kingsmill Dental Hygiene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584557083385-DNNUTLF7GGC060C4KQJN/DP8.png The Space The Space - Kingsmill Dental Hygiene https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/contact daily 0.75 2025-09-04 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/about-1 daily 0.75 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/360a7460-57e7-4d17-a88b-893768d11078/unsplash-image-cykFL7IQCTk.jpg What you'll accomplish - Benefits of Therapy These are some of the things that may benefit from Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy -improve and correct swallow patterns -relief of muscle tension in head and neck -headache relief -improve airway -improve digestion -improve dental arch development -improve breathing -correct chewing patterns -lower risk of periodontal disease -improve facial tissue tone -improve facial development -improve sleep -improve speech https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/services-3 daily 0.75 2025-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1643733166134-5BAPSCASNBEP2XIABYAF/unsplash-image-e2_ZeDesuBI.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1643732784119-HFLN3RZ8RED4AW3D94CT/what-is-tongue-tie.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1643732813232-YZFLRTRDEY5UQNG1KF8C/IMG_0493.JPG+%283fe79e84-8e42-42ac-a968-20934c8a86f2%29.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1643732798256-A7YKKUTI8KD1FPHDDZ1I/Frenectomies.jpeg https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/dentists daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/services-2 daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1643736045524-SYVR3L7MM9NXZQBPGW2T/unsplash-image-vnpTRdmtQ30.jpg Assessment Assessments are 90 minutes long and done in person with proper safety protocols in place. When the pandemic began and we all moved online, we found the quality of assessments sank and we are able to provide a significantly better value for clients. We will take photographs and an extensive medical and dental history, evaluate function for the orofacial muscles and determine the need for therapy. Breathing is also assessed. Assessments are $200 for the 90 minutes. Therapy itself can be done online once determined. https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/book-now daily 0.75 2025-10-09 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/contact-1 daily 0.75 2024-05-09 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/covid19 daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/healthhistory daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/general-1 daily 0.75 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/c41b955e-637c-4b48-a9ff-8c1dea8211f3/GLO_PR+4.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/df9e1bb7-0630-4251-a138-64eeb2cefa01/Patient+Relaxing_Male+cropped+square_DarkGray.jpg https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/general-4-1 daily 0.75 2023-01-04 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/general-2 daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/3a03124c-6bb5-4ac0-a35a-4b1a9a77833f/U+Shape.jpg Mouth Breathing and Dental Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/22d3c7ed-2361-471e-a17c-cb1d15ecebc7/images.jpg Mouth Breathing and Dental Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1672858242413-62INTI4A5FWFM8OD0LYC/Narrow+Arch.jpg Mouth Breathing and Dental Arches https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/faqs-2 daily 0.75 2025-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1672864243507-QQTSQNIMC5PHL1S20LMP/unsplash-image-q6U5_DBx9YA.jpg https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/mylinks daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1584400733213-ZMVXGQFPOND3YMSIDBO8/websitelogo.jpg https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/30276201-546a-4b7c-8e87-17ac3cd61170/Professional+photo+.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/7eaa096c-fca0-45a6-842f-e6403b3b6984/unnamed.jpg https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/wait daily 0.75 2025-09-17 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/joecv daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/3ca66a74-c1df-483b-bb68-605851f9ce26/Cropped.jpeg https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/general-2-1 daily 0.75 2025-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/5f51d141-ec8e-4161-ab75-f36a938ab9b4/Rectangle+16.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fb4f7fe5e4e0665632aef/1692805285148-HABYTD8CU7LU0ZFNU67R/unnamed.jpg https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/myoconsent daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1 daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/7-day-morning-flow-challenge monthly 0.5 2021-11-17 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/mindful-meditation monthly 0.5 2021-11-17 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/yoga-for-beginners monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/hosted-with-custom-z9ehj-dwh9x-7ww99 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/sunday-morning-flow-wwkfj-kg3zm monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/saturday-morning-flow-xw6jw-r3epf monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/friday-morning-flow-6esng-5n5hf monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/thursday-morning-flow-xay84-er9dl monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/wednesday-morning-flow-bd32w-yy49n monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/monday-morning-flow-c5f9z-xhzn7 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/new-video-k65jc-99r7h monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/daily-calm-yyhd4-zgc89 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/planet-earth-mejnx-d2a8y-t4tg9 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/everything-to-sell-anything-427ge-88xsk-cjg9x monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/john-mcenroe-does-voice-over-now-zpk5h-tc9nt-y7gxs monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/how-to-create-an-under-construction-page-nmhkn-et8z6-ra375 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/how-to-use-twitter-blocks-g9mnf-4n8yt-3yyzk monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.kingsmilldentalhygiene.ca/videos-1/v/it-is-nhsde-3akh4-n8cry monthly 0.5 2022-06-15
