What to expect
A clear, honest process.
From your first call to the day therapy wraps up, here's what to expect.
- Step 01
Book
Reserve a 60-minute evaluation through our secure SimplePractice portal. You'll pay a deposit at booking and complete intake forms by email.
- Step 02
Evaluate
A 60-minute, in-person evaluation of oral posture, swallow, tongue mobility, breathing, and related muscle function. We'll discuss findings at the end of the visit.
- Step 03
Plan
You'll leave with a written plan: the specific exercises, frequency, and the result we're working toward. We'll be honest about what to expect and when.
- Step 04
Train
Short, daily home practice plus in-person sessions every 2–4 weeks. Most programs run 4–9 months.
- Step 05
Maintain
Once the pattern is established, we taper and check in. The work becomes a habit, not a chore.
A note on honesty
We'll be honest about what myofunctional therapy can and can't do. Outcomes vary. Some people make dramatic changes; others see smaller gains. Some conditions need medical or surgical care first; therapy alone isn't the right answer.
If we don't think therapy is the right next step, we'll tell you. We'll suggest the right provider and coordinate care with them.
