66. What is OMT?

Oral Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is all about the interconnectedness of eating, speaking, and sleeping. Yes - these things are all related! Discover how common issues like pacifier use, mouth breathing, and tongue ties can shake this delicate balance. We dive into the importance of proper nasal breathing and touch on structural issues such as enlarged tonsils and tongue ties, reinforcing why understanding this interconnectedness is both important for children's overall health as well as their outcomes in therapy. Listen for real-talk on OMT and whether it's the right fit for a child.
