Ten days ago, you signed up because you had a referral slip and not much else to go on.
Here's what we've covered since then.
You know now that the referral gap is real. It's not a failure of parenting when families don't act on a myo referral quickly. It's a failure of the system to explain what the referral means and what to do next. You were not the only one who didn't know.
You know that myo therapy isn't about speech. It addresses the swallowing patterns and tongue posture that determine whether your child's orthodontic results hold after treatment ends. Braces move teeth. Muscle patterns keep applying pressure. Without treating the pattern, relapse is a real risk.
You know that the timing matters. Ages 6 to 12 are when the jaw and palate are still developing. Intervention during that window is more effective and works with the natural growth process. The referral arrived when it did for a reason.
And you know that a Certified Myofunctional Therapist is a specific credential, verifiable, and rare in the Atlanta area. You're not working with someone who added myo to a general services list. You're working with a CMT who came from hospital acute care and applies that standard of diagnostic precision to every intake.
You have enough information to take the next step now.
What the free intake consult looks like.
The intake consult is a 30-minute conversation. No charge for the initial consult. No obligation. You'll walk away with a clear picture of what your child's evaluation would cover, what the treatment process looks like, and whether this is the right fit. If it's not, I'll tell you that directly and point you toward what might be.
There is no version of this conversation where you leave less informed than you came in. That's the point of it.
If you've been sitting with this referral, whether it's been two weeks or two months, the next step is straightforward. Book the intake consult. Come in with your questions. Leave with a clear plan or a clear answer. Either way, you'll know more than you do now.

No charge for the initial consult. No obligation. You'll walk away with a clear picture so you can make the right call for your child.
