This 1-hour webinar on myofunctional therapy patient assessments introduces the importance of evaluating orofacial myofunctional disorders and their impact on breathing, speech, and orthodontic outcomes. It begins with key foundations and moves into gathering a thorough patient history, including sleep, breathing patterns, and oral habits. The session then covers core clinical assessment components such as extraoral and intraoral exams, tongue function, swallowing, and resting posture, along with optional use of standardized tools.
Participants will learn how to interpret findings, identify when therapy is appropriate, and recognize when referrals to other professionals are needed. A brief case example helps connect concepts to practice, followed by key takeaways and a short Q&A.
