Course Objectives

Discover how to screen patients for myofunctional disorders and incorporate your findings into orthodontic, restorative, and cosmetic care.

Improper tongue posture, mouth breathing, and dysfunctional swallowing patterns can influence dental alignment, facial development, airway health, and long-term stability.  Addressing these underlying issues supports more predictable outcomes and reduces the risk of relapse.

By adding myofunctional therapy to your clinical approach, you move beyond straightening teeth to supporting balanced muscle function and healthy breathing. The result is comprehensive care that promotes lasting results and distinguishes your practice as one focused on whole-patient health.
