A few before and afters! So happy for my client and all the progress he has made. His beginning TRMR (Tongue Range of Motion) TIP was 56% and LPS was only 16%. His readings at the end of therapy are TIP 68% and LPS 50%!! He is sleeping better, acid reflux is gone, way less jaw pain, nasal breathing, and has closed lip posture both day and night. So very proud of him!

School is out! ☀️I remember when I used to say, “I wish I could take the summer off.” I wouldn’t say that managing my business and still practicing dental hygiene, and running my kids to summer camps isn’t work. However, this is the kind of work that I prayed for. I can honestly say that I love every bit of it. Finding this work/life balance is possible. If you are a dental hygienist trained in OMT, I’m here when you are ready!

Big news from Indy Myo! 🦷

I’m now offering consulting services to help dental offices bring orofacial myofunctional therapy into their practices.

If you’re a dentist, dental hygienist, orthodontist, or dental team member who has ever wondered how OMT could fit into what you already do, this is for you.

With over a decade of dental hygiene experience and specialized training in orofacial myofunctional therapy, I understand the clinical side AND the day-to-day realities of running a dental practice. My goal is to make adding OMT feel practical, not overwhelming.

Here’s what consulting with me can look like:

Screening and patient identification protocols
Staff education on recognizing orofacial dysfunction
Workflow integration support
Connecting your team with the right resources and referral networks

Orofacial myofunctional therapy supports better breathing, improved swallowing patterns, healthier tongue posture, and stronger long-term orthodontic results. When it’s part of your practice, your patients benefit in ways that go far beyond the chair.

I’d love to connect with practices that are ready to take this step. If you currently have dental hygienists who are trained in orofacial myofunctional therapy, this is a great opportunity for your practice! Reach out here or visit indymyo.com to get the conversation started.
