Jaw pain?
Myofunctional therapy can help your muscles function better to reduce or eliminate your pain.
Sleep Apnea, UARS, Snoring?
Nasal breathing all day and all night is a main goal of any myofunctional therapy program.
Chronic Ear Infections? Bedwetting? Hyperactivity?
Your child may be suffering from an incorrect swallowing pattern or an airway issue may be preventing restful sleep.
Tongue tied?
Myofunctional therapy is a critical part of tongue-tie release procedures. It will help to prepare your tongue and facial muscles for the surgery and support mobility, decrease risk of scarring and reattachment after surgery.
Our Mission
At Myo Form & Function, we provide telemedicine based myofunctional therapy. Our purpose is to empower individuals of all ages to achieve optimal orofacial function, health, and well-being through evidence-based myofunctional therapy. We are dedicated to identifying and treating dysfunctions related to breathing, swallowing, tongue posture, and oral habits that can impact speech, sleep, dental development, and overall health.
​
We believe that the function of the orofacial muscles plays a critical role in foundational aspects of health—from proper craniofacial growth in children to airway stability in adults. Our practice is grounded in compassion, clinical excellence, and collaboration with multidisciplinary professionals including dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, speech-language pathologists, and sleep specialists.
​
Our mission is to provide personalized care that supports healthy habits, enhances quality of life, and promotes long-term wellness. Through education, assessment, and targeted therapy, we help our clients achieve sustainable outcomes and greater awareness of the integral role of oral function in systemic health.
Meet the Therapist
Jaimie Meihaus, RDH, OMT
Hi! I’m Jaimie Meihaus, MS, RDH, OMT, founder of Myo Form & Function. I am a registered dental hygienist and orofacial myofunctional therapist with more than a decade of experience helping patients improve their oral health, function, and overall well-being.
​
Myofunctional therapy focuses on how you breathe, chew, swallow, speak, and rest your tongue. When these everyday functions are not working as efficiently as they should, they may contribute to concerns such as mouth breathing, poor tongue posture, difficulty transitioning away from oral habits, jaw tension, orthodontic relapse, disrupted sleep, or challenges before and after a tongue-tie procedure. Through personalized, one-on-one therapy, I help patients build healthier patterns that support more comfortable breathing, improved oral function, and lasting results.
​
I earned my dental hygiene degree from Doña Ana Community College and later completed a Master of Science in Dental Hygiene at the University of New Mexico. My background as a dental hygienist, educator, clinical leader, and orofacial myofunctional therapist allows me to look beyond individual symptoms and consider how the mouth, airway, muscles, and surrounding structures work together.
​
At Myo Form & Function, therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I take the time to understand each patient’s concerns, daily habits, and goals before creating a practical treatment plan tailored to their needs. I also collaborate with dentists, orthodontists, physicians, speech-language pathologists, and other healthcare providers when appropriate to help patients receive coordinated, comprehensive care.
​
My goal is to help you or your child better understand the “why” behind your symptoms, develop skills that can be used in everyday life, and create healthier patterns that support long-term function and confidence.
