Here’s how it works!

To get started, schedule an assessment online by clicking the "Book an Appointment" button. This will allow you to complete online paperwork that helps determine whether you may have any myofunctional concerns. Misty will review your responses and be prepared to discuss them with you during your scheduled appointment. She will call you at the appointed time, and together, you’ll decide if myofunctional therapy could be beneficial for you. If so, a comprehensive exam can be scheduled.

Your first in-person visit will be a "Discovery Visit," which involves a thorough evaluation. This includes a clinical examination of the muscles in your mouth, throat, and airway, as well as a detailed discussion of your sleep, eating habits, daily routines, and medical history. The evaluation will last between 1.5 to 3 hours and will include photographs and videos. About two weeks after this visit, you will receive a personalized treatment plan.

The total cost for this comprehensive evaluation is $295. The fee for your assessment will be applied to this amount and is due at the time of service. Following the evaluation, therapy sessions are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks, lasting between 30-60 minutes for a duration of 6-9 months. During the course of treatment, you'll be asked to perform daily exercises—similar to physical therapy—for several minutes each day to achieve the best possible results.

How long does it take?

Misty specializes in helping both children and adults address muscle patterning habits, including those related to mouth breathing. She will assess your facial and tongue muscles and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Typically, treatment involves 12-15 therapy sessions, along with a few minutes of daily practice exercises. During your comprehensive evaluation, the severity of your symptoms will be assessed to help determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
