FAME Speech and Myo is a Jacksonville-based therapy service company that works closely with your dentist, ENT, or health care provider to create a treatment plan that improves the quality of your life.

01 Structural

Structural issues can include snoring, sleep apnea, tongue-tie, nasal obstruction, and more. Orofacial Myologists are able to identify the underlying cause and provide treatment.

02 Myofunctional

The way we use our facial and oral muscles creates a daily pattern that impacts development and function. Myofunctional therapy exercises and techniques can help provide lasting improvements in a patient's breathing, tongue placement, chewing, swallowing, and speech.

03 Behavioral

Sleep is essential to your overall health. Myofunctional therapy can provide improvements on tongue placement that can promote healthy sleep patterns and increase overall health quality.

The tongue is a muscle that needs strengthening too

Myofunctional therapy is a great start to a lifetime of good oral development and optimizing form and function.

How it works

Assessment

The process begins with a comprehensive assessment to gain a clear understanding of your needs. This evaluation helps determine the best starting point and guides the path toward your goals, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan.

Treatment

Myofunctional therapy is an active treatment that requires daily commitment to exercises for approximately 8–12 sessions, depending on individual needs. Appointments track progress and introduce new exercises to ensure steady improvement and long-term success.

Completion

At the end of the program, a re-assessment is completed before you officially  GRADUATE from the Myo Program! Some patients may need additional work depending on their progress, the severity of their case, and their consistency with practice.

It's basically physical therapy for your mouth
