Big mistakes when it comes to omt
Each week I meet new people who are discouraged, and frankly pissed off. These people come from all walks of life, but they have something in common. They had a tongue-tie release done by someone who *knew how to do it*…and that’s about it. No mention of OMT or that myofunctional therapy helps with the success of a frenectomy. No mention of active wound management. No mention about correct oral function.
Can I point out to you that all dentists, periodontists, oral surgeons, ENT’s know how to do the procedure. It’s something they learned in school and probably had to get “checked off” on…but they truly don’t get it, and many haven’t done one in years. YOU don’t want this person!!
In this week’s video, I talk about mistakes that are often made when it comes to OMT. By understanding the mistakes that other people are making, it provides you the opportunity to avoid those mistakes!
Let me help you avoid these mistakes! Let’s chat! I invite you to make a compimentary appointment today!

I found this path of passion years ago as a dental hygienist. After a stint in graduate school to earn my M.B.A., I decided that I needed to pivot. My heart was no longer in scraping teeth, but making a much bigger impact on lives touched by myofunctional impairment.
My story is personal and close to home. My sweet granddaughter was passed back and forth amongst doctors and therapists for years trying to figure out her speech, breathing, sleep, chewing and swallowing issues. It wasn’t until I completed more training that I knew her problem was a significant tongue-tie. Bingo.
Fast forward to now. I’m a crusader. A warrior. A voice for those who can’t find theirs, or who don’t have one.
I left clinical hygiene practice to start Integrative Myofunctional Therapy. It has evolved from a way to make a living, into an obsession!
I see clients all over the world and provide innovative, virtual therapy in the remotest of places.
In addition, I also
- Teach other dental hygienists how to become myofunctional therapists through my Myo Mastery Program
- Coach dental offices on how to implement myofunctional screening into the daily practice
- Speak in various settings
