TMJ focused providers in Olathe, Kansas

If you’re struggling with jaw pain, clenching, headaches, facial or neck tension, poor sleep, or other symptoms that seem difficult to connect, there may be more to the picture than the jaw alone. As an IAOM Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM®) and Registered Dental Hygienist, I take an integrative approach to TMD and orofacial dysfunction by looking at tongue posture, breathing patterns, oral habits, muscle function, posture, sleep, and the nervous system. My goal is to identify functional patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms and create a personalized plan to help you move, breathe, sleep, and function better. I work with both adults and children and collaborate with dentists, orthodontists, physicians, physical therapists, and other providers when appropriate. Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment of your orofacial function, breathing, tongue posture, jaw function, and related patterns, followed by recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
