Services
Eight core services.
One focus.
Each begins with a 60-minute evaluation so we understand the whole picture before recommending a program.
What we do
How it works
A clear, honest process.
Most programs run 4–9 months. The first visit is 60 minutes. We'll be honest about what therapy can and can't do.

Common questions about these services
- How long is the first visit?
- The first visit is a 60-minute comprehensive myofunctional evaluation. We assess oral posture, swallow pattern, tongue mobility, breathing, and related muscle function. No instrumentation, no pain — just observing how you or your child breathe, rest the tongue, swallow, and speak.
- How long is a typical program?
- Most programs run 4 to 9 months with short daily home practice plus in-person sessions every 2 to 4 weeks. The exact length depends on the specific patterns we are working with and how consistent the home practice is.
- Do you take insurance?
- 502 MYO is a cash-pay practice. We provide a superbill you may submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
- Do you work with children?
- Yes. We work with children of all ages, including infants with feeding concerns. The first step is usually a phone conversation with a parent so we can decide together whether an evaluation is the right next step.
- Do you do myofunctional therapy pre- and post-frenectomy?
- Yes. We coordinate with your releasing provider. Pre-frenectomy therapy prepares the tongue and surrounding muscles; post-frenectomy therapy protects the surgical result with scar-management and re-training of the swallow and rest posture.
- How is myofunctional therapy different from speech therapy?
- They overlap. Myofunctional therapy focuses on the muscles that support rest posture, swallowing, and nasal breathing. Speech therapy focuses on speech production. We sometimes coordinate with a speech-language pathologist, particularly when tongue thrust or oral habit patterns affect articulation.
- How do I know which service my child or I need?
- Start with a Comprehensive Myofunctional Evaluation. We'll assess your specific patterns and recommend the right program — which may include one of the dedicated services on this page, a referral to another provider, or simply monitoring with a follow-up plan.
