Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a specialized treatment that focuses on retraining and correcting dysfunctions of the oral and facial muscles to improve breathing, swallowing, tongue posture, and overall orofacial function. By addressing habits like mouth breathing, tongue thrust, and improper swallowing patterns, OMT supports optimal airway health, speech, dental development, and overall well-being.

OMT is beneficial for individuals of all ages, particularly those experiencing issues related to:

Mouth breathing

Tongue thrusting

Sleep-disordered breathing (snoring, sleep apnea), 

TMJ disorders or pain

Orthodontic relapse

Speech difficulties

Difficulty swallowing

Poor oral posture. 

By treating the root cause of dysfunction, orofacial myofunctional therapy enhances long-term health and wellness.

Through a series of personalized exercises, OMT strengthens and re-educates the muscles of the tongue, lips, and face to support proper function, breathing, and posture.  

The length of therapy varies based on individual needs but typically lasts 6-12 months with regular sessions and at-home exercises for lasting results.  

Yes! By improving nasal breathing, tongue posture, and airway function, OMT can help reduce symptoms of snoring, sleep apnea, and other breathing-related issues.   

No, but it works hand-in-hand with orthodontics, speech therapy, and other treatments to improve outcomes and prevent relapse by addressing underlying muscle dysfunction.  

If you or your child experience symptoms like mouth breathing, speech difficulties, frequent snoring, or improper tongue posture, a consultation with Samantha can help determine if therapy is right for you. 

Schedule a comprehensive Myofunctional Therapy evaluation to assess your needs and begin a personalized treatment plan for better oral, systemic, and airway health.

Dental offices should perform regular internal audits and receive annual professional evaluations to stay compliant with evolving guidelines and pass state board inspections. Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners (NSBDE) requires an Infection Control Inspection for all new dental practices, any changes in ownership, and for any official complaints. Additionally NSBDE may perform random inspections as deemed necessary. 

An infection control inspection by the Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners (NSBDE) can be a stressful experience—especially if your office is not fully prepared. The inspectors conduct a thorough walkthrough of your practice, evaluating compliance with CDC, OSHA, and state regulations to ensure a safe environment for both patients and staff.

During the inspection, they will:

✔ Assess sterilization and disinfection protocols to ensure proper handling of instruments and operatory sanitation.

✔ Review written policies and documentation to verify accuracy and execution of infection control procedures.

✔ Inspect treatment rooms, sterilization areas, and storage for adherence to infection prevention standards.

✔ Evaluate staff compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE), hand hygiene, and cross-contamination prevention.

✔ Check maintenance logs, spore testing records, and emergency preparedness to ensure ongoing compliance.

I offer hands-on and virtual infection control training tailored to your office’s needs, ensuring all team members understand the latest CDC and OSHA guidelines and best practices. My Infection Control course is an approved Continuing eduction training is approved by NSBDE.
