You've got questions. We've got answers.
What is an OMD?
Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders stem from a discrepancy in the facial muscles which can lead to problems eating, sleeping, daily functions, and many more.

What to Expect During Your Myofunctional Evaluation
With a comprehensive evaluation, we create a personalized therapy plan tailored to your needs.
Extra Oral Assessment
We begin by evaluating your posture, including forward head rest posture, head, neck, and facial pain. We'll assess your facial structure, open-mouth resting posture, and nasal breathing. Photos and videos will be taken to document and analyze your specific needs.
Intra Oral Assessment
Our detailed intra oral assessment focuses on identifying any restricted oral tissues such as tongue ties, lip ties, and buccal ties. We assess conditions like tongue thrust, clenching/grinding, tonsil size, palatal development, dental crowding, scalloped tongue borders, improper swallowing patterns, and bite issues (e.g., open bite, crossbite). We also evaluate tongue mobility, function, and resting posture. Photos and videos will be captured to support our assessment.
Habits
We review any habits that may impact orofacial health, including snoring, nail biting, bedwetting, thumb sucking, restless sleeping, mouth breathing, low tongue resting posture, and pacifier use. To further understand your sleep quality, we now offer the innovative Sleep Image Ring assessment.
Client Reviews
"Visiting Angela has been life changing for our 2.5 year old son. We have been searching for answers on a few things he had going on with his mouth for years and kept hitting dead ends or getting bad medical advice. Angela immediately found his tongue and lip tie and gave SO much information to us that explained how these conditions can impact his entire body. After the release of the ties, we have noticed a huge difference in him- he is happier, behaves better, and is moving his mouth in ways we have never seen. Angela is a wealth of knowledge and I would highly recommend her to anyone. I only wish we had visited her sooner. Worth every penny!"

"I am so stoked to have come across Central Virginia OMT! Angela’s commitment to the field and personal attentiveness has been wonderful. I’ve had a fairly long wellness journey and in such have seen a good deal of specialists. Amidst this though, Angela has truly stood apart in her genuine dedication to her patients and their paths."
