You're overwhelmed by the conflicting advice about tongue, lip and cheek ties.
Something about the way your child chews or swallows doesn’t seem quite right.
You've noticed your child plays, rests or sleeps with their mouth open.

Not always. Many families choose to attend without their child, especially for toddlers and preschoolers. Older children and teens are welcome to join if you feel it would support their understanding and participation.
Consultations involve a detailed look at one child’s individual needs, development and oral function concerns. For this reason, appointments are for one child only.
Currently, there are no Medicare or private health rebates available for 'Teledentistry' or Orofacial Myology services in Australia. The full service fee will apply.
Yes, but only if it's the right fit.
Careful screening is important to make sure your child is ready for a formal program. Many children make great progress with simple strategies, education, and the right referrals before jumping into therapy.
OMT is also not suitable for children under 5.
Yes. Many families book to understand whether mouth breathing, snoring or open-mouth posture is affecting their child’s oral health, sleep or dental development. I can help you identify contributing factors and guide you on appropriate next steps or referrals.
Absolutely. Thumb sucking, finger habits and dummy use are common concerns in toddler and preschool years. We’ll look at how the habit is impacting oral function and development, and go through practical, gentle ways to move forward.
Yes, this comes up a lot. While I don’t provide orthodontic treatment, I can help you understand early signs, growth patterns, and what questions to ask when seeing an orthodontist. Families often find this clarity invaluable before committing to treatment.
For babies under 1, it’s best to work with an IBCLC (lactation consultant) trained in orofacial myology.
