Oral-facial myology
Oral-facial myology is a specialized field focused on assessing and improving the function of the muscles involved in speech, swallowing, and breathing. It involves techniques to identify and address muscle imbalances or restrictions that may affect oral and facial development. By working on correct muscle use and movement, oral-facial myologists help enhance communication, digestion, and overall oral health. This therapy can benefit individuals of all ages with issues like speech delays, tongue thrust, or poor swallowing patterns, promoting better function and comfort in everyday activities.
