Orofacial Myology

Orofacial Myology is defined as treatment of the orofacial musculature to improve muscle tonicity and activity. It is the establishment of correct functional activities of the tongue, lips and jaw, so that normal growth and development may take place or progress in a stable, homeostatic environment.

Therapy may include the treatment of para functional habits (thumb and finger sucking, lip licking, nail biting, etc.), or temporomandibular muscle dysfunction as it relates to bruxism (teeth grinding) and clenching, range of motion activities, or postural habits of the tongue, lips and jaw.
