A Crash Course in Myofunctional Therapy
A thorough, no-cost introduction to the field, built for dentists, hygienists, SLPs, and curious providers who want to understand what myo really is and where it fits in modern care.
The field of myofunctional therapy is exploding
The field has grown enormously over the last five years. Practices are expanding at a pace few could have imagined, fueled by hundreds of motivated patients seeking answers.
Dentists, hygienists, SLPs, and other medical professionals from around the world are reaching out every day, looking to integrate myo into their practice and offer a higher standard of care.
A dozen scattered symptoms. One underlying cause.
So often these are treated separately, by separate providers, without anyone realizing they trace back to the same place. Myofunctional therapy is how you connect them.
The four goals at the heart of myofunctional therapy
Learn to spot the early signs of dysfunction (mouth breathing, tongue thrust, low resting posture, improper swallowing) and understand why these small habits have lasting effects.
Nasal breathing
Establish consistent breathing through the nose, day and night.
Tongue posture
Promote correct resting position of the tongue at the palate.
Functional swallow
Achieve a proper, efficient swallow pattern free of compensation.
Habitual lip seal
Maintain a gentle, effortless lip seal at rest.
Understand how oral habits ripple through the whole body
See how dysfunction links to sleep-disordered breathing, snoring, OSA, TMD, orthodontic relapse, and even attention issues in children.
How do I identify the signs of myofunctional dysfunction during an exam?
What's the link between oral habits and airway health?
How does improper oral function contribute to TMD or orthodontic relapse?
Can myo help prevent sleep-disordered breathing in children or adults?
This was a fabulous course introduction. It's making me want to take the full course and implement it into my independent dental hygiene office in the near future.
