Orofacial myofunctional therapy training for Dentists
The patterns behind malocclusion, relapse, and airway start with function.
Built for the dentist's caseload
You see the consequences of orofacial dysfunction every day: open bites, crowding, orthodontic relapse, mouth breathing, and the airway concerns that come with them. Tongue posture and oral habits are often the engine underneath. Make The Connection gives you the functional lens that dentistry usually leaves out.
Built to be interdisciplinary, the course teaches you how myofunctional assessment and therapy support orthodontic stability, airway-focused care, and the referrals that make co-treatment work. You'll understand what to look for, what to refer, and how to build the team around the patient.
What you'll be able to do
- Recognize the orofacial myofunctional patterns behind malocclusion and relapse
- Connect tongue posture and oral habits to airway and breathing
- Identify frenula restrictions and understand the release-and-rehab picture
- Coordinate interdisciplinary referral and co-treatment with confidence
Three reasons it's worth your three days
Stability after ortho
Tongue thrust and low resting posture are leading drivers of orthodontic relapse. Understanding the functional pattern protects your treatment outcomes.
The airway connection
Mouth breathing and oral posture tie directly to airway and sleep. This course grounds the airway conversation in function you can assess.
Build the referral team
Learn to coordinate with SLPs, physicians, and osteopaths so myofunctional therapy and dentistry reinforce each other.
CEUs & documentation
The course is delivered at up to 3.6 ASHA CEUs (36 contact hours) with full documentation provided. Many dental boards accept documented CE hours via self-reporting; check your state board's requirements.
For Dentists
Is this course relevant for dentists, not just SLPs?
Yes. The curriculum is interdisciplinary by design. Dentists, orthodontists, and dental hygienists attend to understand the functional patterns behind malocclusion, relapse, and airway, and to build referral relationships.
Do I get CE documentation as a dentist?
Yes, full contact-hour documentation is provided. Dental CE acceptance varies by state board, so confirm your board's self-reporting rules.
