Whole Health Dentistry: Transforming Smiles with Holistic Orthodontics, Myofunctional Therapy, and Sleep Science

Program Description

Join us in uncovering the intricate connections between orthodontics, myofunctional therapy, and sleep disorders. In this comprehensive course, we

delve into the profound impact of proper rest oral posture and nasal breathing versus restricted oral tissues and mouth breathing on overall oral health and well-being. Illuminate the symptoms and complications associated with sleep-disordered breathing across all ages, from infants to adults. Gain insights into identifying and diagnosing improper oral rest posture and orofacial myofunctional disorders.

Challenge traditional orthodontic paradigms by adopting a patient centered approach that views malocclusion as a symptom of underlying issues rather than the primary problem. With malocclusion rates estimated at 90% in North America, it's crucial to shift our focus towards collaborative care and address the root causes contributing to crooked teeth.
