The field of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy continues to gain interest among dental and healthcare professionals who recognize the important relationship between oral function, breathing, tongue posture, chewing, swallowing and airway health.
As awareness of airway-focused care continues to grow, many dentists, dental hygienists, speech-language pathologists and physiotherapistsare looking to better understand Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders and how Myofunctional Therapy can fit within a collaborative approach to patient care.
Our professional training is designed to provide healthcare professionals with practical education and a strong foundation in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, including the recognition of common functional patterns, appropriate patient considerations and collaboration with other members of the healthcare team.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is a growing area of clinical practice that explores the relationship between orofacial muscle function and essential functions such as breathing, chewing, swallowing, speech and oral rest posture.
There is increasing awareness among dental and healthcare professionals of the role that oral and facial function can play in patient care. Understanding these functional patterns can help practitioners recognize potential Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, identify when further assessment may be appropriate, and collaborate effectively with other healthcare professionals.
