Join us for a comprehensive introduction to orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT), designed for clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of the field’s principles, applications, and clinical value. This session will begin with an exploration of the history and evolution of myofunctional therapy, offering participants a clear view of how the discipline developed and the foundational concepts that shaped it.

We will then define the scope of orofacial myofunctional therapy, outlining the anatomical and functional considerations involved, as well as the types of disorders it addresses. Participants will gain clarity on the key goals and therapeutic targets of OMT—such as improved swallowing patterns, balanced muscle function, and optimized oral posture.

The webinar will also delve into practical applications, covering essential assessment strategies and hands-on therapy techniques used in everyday clinical practice. In addition, we will examine why OMT matters, highlighting its role in supporting oral health, functional development, and collaborative, multidisciplinary care.

Finally, attendees will learn to identify warning signs and contraindications that may warrant caution or referral, and will explore how effective teamwork with professionals such as ENTs, speech-language pathologists, and orthodontists enhances patient outcomes.

This session is ideal for practitioners looking to broaden their therapeutic toolkit and strengthen their interdisciplinary approach to patient care.
