Comprehensive Exam
The comprehensive exam is essential for therapy initiation. During the detailed 75 - 90 min exam, individual concerns are addressed and a full evaluation of the orofacial dysfunction is assessed. Photographs, measurements and other individualized assessments are taken. The exam allows for a detailed, customized treatment plan to be developed outlining the goals of therapy.

Therapy Program
Each client has an individualized therapy plan addressing personal concerns. Programs guide patients through the four phases of therapy 1. Awareness and habit elimination. 2. Neuromuscular re-education. 3. Generalization and reinforcement. 4. Retention and maintenance.
Sessions are held bi-weekly during the first two phases of therapy and eventually spaced out in the third Phase. Exercises are expected to be practiced two times a day, (most exercises will only take a few minutes). Therapy programs typically last between 8-12 sessions, but ultimately, the number of sessions needed is determined by the rate of personal progress.
Free Phone Assessment
The free phone assessment typically lasts for 30 minutes and will allow you to gain insight on muscle dysfunction, related symptoms, average cost of therapy, session frequency, and scheduling.
