About Oral Facial Advantage | Myofunctional Therapy
At Oral-Facial Advantage, we help children and adults feel better by improving how the face, mouth, and airway work together. Our therapy targets the root of dysfunction—supporting better breathing, sleep, posture, and muscle control for real, lasting change.
Meet Alicia Proper OMT RDH
Good day, I’m Alicia. Founder of Oral-Facial Advantage. Outside the clinic, I enjoy cooking, walking, hiking, reading, stargazing, and quiet nights by the campfire. I’m always learning and feel truly inspired by the people I work with every day.
My therapy approach is practical, effective, and personalized. I listen carefully, identify root causes, and guide each patient step-by-step to lasting change.
This isn't a temporary fix—it's a structured therapy designed to create long-term improvements in function, comfort, and health.
