How Much Does Myofunctional Therapy Cost in Toronto?
Assessment Fees
The first step in myofunctional therapy is an in-person assessment. This allows us to look at your tongue posture, lip seal, breathing, swallowing, and muscle function before determining whether therapy is appropriate
The assessment is a separate appointment, and the fee is $200. After the assessment, you’ll have a clearer understanding of whether therapy is recommended and what your next steps may involve.

Program Pricing: What Determines Cost
Myofunctional therapy is structured around your individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all package. Your program may include an intensive phase, followed by habituation and maintenance phases, depending on your progress and goals.
The current cost is 170 per session, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes. The intensive phase may include 4–6 sessions, and the intensive phase is paid in full before therapy begins. Habituation and maintenance sessions are billed on an as needed basis as therapy progresses.

Is Myofunctional Therapy Covered by Insurance?
Coverage is decided by your insurer, and it varies more than most people expect. Some plans reimburse part of the cost, some treat myofunctional therapy as an excluded service, and some cover children more readily than adults.
The practical step is to confirm your benefits with your provider before therapy starts. We will assist you in submitting your claim electronically and give you the receipts and appointment details you need to understand your claim, and we describe the service accurately so nothing is left ambiguous when it reaches your insurer.

Payment Options
Pricing is explained before therapy begins so you understand what your recommended plan involves.
Assessment Payment
The assessment is completed before your therapy plan is established. You will pay that fee at the end of the assessment appointment.
Session Payment
Myofunctional therapy sessions are currently $170 each and are approximately 45 minutes.
Intensive Phase Payment
The intensive phase is paid in full before therapy begins. An intensive phase may include 4–6 sessions.
Insurance Receipts
Insurance coverage depends on your individual plan. Kingsmill can process eligible claims electronically to help simplify reimbursement.
The Cost of Waiting
Cost is a fair thing to consider before booking. The right time to begin therapy depends on what your assessment shows and whether myofunctional therapy is appropriate for your needs.
We recommend therapy when the assessment supports it. If your concern falls outside myofunctional therapy or a dental hygienist’s scope of practice, we will let you know and direct you toward the appropriate provider.
The decision to begin therapy is yours, and your assessment gives you the information you need to make that decision.
