Initial Comprehensive Evaluation

All programs start with initial comprehensive evaluation to determine which program is best suited for each individual.  A detailed review of medical and dental history, and symptoms are done at this appointment.  We will perform a thorough assessment of your oral and facial muscle tone and function, breathing patterns, hard and soft tissues of the mouth,  biting and chewing patterns, swallowing patterns, and face/body symmetry and alignment.  A series of photos and videos will also be taken as part of the evaluation.  

This program is for ages 6 and up. Appointments are booked every 2 weeks for the first two months and 3-6 weeks thereafter. This program focuses on efficient nasal breathing, correct tongue posture, lip seal, and correct tongue placement for swallowing.  

This program is recommended for clients with more complex symptoms such as sleep issues, jaw discomfort, headaches/migraine, chewing and swallowing difficulties, and postural issues.

This program is for ages 3 - 6.  Appointments are booked every 2 weeks for the first three months and 3-4 weeks thereafter.  This program focuses on  proper tongue posture, nasal breathing and lip seal.

This program is for infants.   Tongue posture, lip seal, and nasal breathing  are assessed for optimal functioning and for better orofacial bone growth and development.  Appointments are booked every 1- 2 weeks depending on the signs and symptoms.  A referral to a Lactation Consultant may be necessary.
