Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

What is Pediatric Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy?

Pediatric Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (POMT) is a gentle and effective therapy designed to help children develop healthy habits and improve the function of the muscles in the mouth, face, and tongue. This therapy focuses on addressing issues like mouth breathing, tongue thrust, improper swallowing, and speech difficulties, which can affect a child’s oral health and development. Through fun and interactive exercises, POMT helps children learn to use their muscles correctly, supporting proper breathing, swallowing, and speaking patterns. By guiding kids toward these healthier habits, Pediatric Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy can promote better oral function, prevent dental problems, and support overall well-being in a way that feels engaging and supportive for both kids and parents.
