How much does it cost?

With Orofacial Myology, we always Start at the Start. Allow 75 minutes for your initial assessment. During this appointment we will record a thorough history, and screen for airway, sleep and allergy concerns. We will also assess your oral structures; dental spacing and occlusion (bite); the muscles of the face, jaw, lips, cheeks, tongue and neck; tethered oral tissues (tongue and lip ties); habits; the oral prep phase of swallow; posture and breathing.

A Follow Up appointment is then made a week later where we go through the findings of the assessment together, discuss your options and any referrals required and come up with a plan of ‘where to from here’. It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. This is a 3o minute appointment.

Assessment: $175 Follow Up appointment: $175 Therapy appointment (30min): $100 Extended Therapy appointment (45min) $150

How many appointments will I/my child need?

Because each treatment plan is tailored to a clients specific needs, time spent in therapy is different for each person.
