Healthcare provider collaboration for myofunctional therapy referrals in Oklahoma City

Referring Providers:

A Myofunctional Therapist Your Patients Can Trust

OMT of Oklahoma accepts referrals from dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, sleep physicians, and pediatricians throughout Oklahoma City and the surrounding area. We understand that a referral is a reflection of your practice — which is why we take every patient seriously, communicate directly with referring providers, and return documented findings at every stage of care.

Jennifer DeJonge is a Registered Dental Hygienist with 20+ years of clinical experience and specialized myofunctional therapy training through MyoMentor. Her background in dental hygiene means she speaks your language, understands the oral structures you work with daily, and integrates seamlessly into your existing treatment plans.

Who We Work With

We accept referrals from providers across specialties:

Dentists & Airway-Focused Dentists — Myofunctional therapy as part of airway treatment, sleep appliance preparation, and post-frenectomy care. We coordinate directly with your office throughout the process.

Orthodontists — Pre- and post-orthodontic myofunctional therapy to address the muscle patterns that drive relapse. We help your results last.

ENTs — Patients presenting with chronic mouth breathing, nasal obstruction, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, or recurrent ear infections who would benefit from myofunctional evaluation alongside medical management.

Sleep Physicians — Adjunctive myofunctional therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea — including those with poor CPAP compliance, mild to moderate OSA, or sleep disordered breathing without a formal diagnosis.

Pediatricians — Children presenting with mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, bedwetting, hyperactivity, or inattention that may have an airway or myofunctional component.

What Every New Patient Evaluation Includes

Every patient referred to OMT of Oklahoma receives a comprehensive functional evaluation, not just a symptom checklist. We assess:

Resting tongue posture and elevation range of motion
Lip seal and nasal versus oral breathing patterns at rest
Swallowing function and pattern
Frenulum assessment — visual and functional evaluation for tongue and lip tie
Facial muscle tone and symmetry
Sleep history, dental history, and relevant medical history
Review of any existing diagnostic findings (sleep study, imaging, prior evaluations)

Findings are documented and a written summary is available to referring providers upon request. We communicate directly with your office at the time of evaluation and throughout the course of treatment.

Conditions We Address:

We work with children (ages 4 and up) and adults presenting with:

Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) — pre- and post-frenectomy myofunctional therapy
Lip tie — functional assessment and post-release therapy
Mouth breathing — root cause identification and nasal breathing retraining
Obstructive sleep apnea and sleep disordered breathing
Snoring
CPAP intolerance or poor compliance
Tongue thrust and atypical swallow pattern
TMJ dysfunction and jaw pain with myofunctional component
Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism)
Orthodontic relapse prevention
Post-orthodontic myofunctional stabilization
Speech issues with myofunctional component (in coordination with SLP)
Chronic mouth breathing in children — including those with ADHD diagnosis or behavioral concerns
