OMT: Beyond the Bite
Course Type: OMD
Beyond the Bite will introduce Dental professionals to foundational principles of OMT. You will discuss how Physiologic Dentistry goes beyond the teeth and occlusion – how it recognizes the essential relationship between muscles, airway, oral function, and overall health.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) provides an important functional component to comprehensive – centered care. You will go from fundamental knowledge to practical implementation in your Dental Practice. You will discover how dysfunctional oral habits, improper tongue posture, mouth breathing, abnormal swallowing patterns and altered muscle function may influence feeding, craniofacial growth and development, occlusion, TMJ function, airway health, sleep, and long-term treatment stability.
