Myo Masterclass for parents

This masterclass introduces parents to Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) and how they affect children’s breathing, sleep, speech, chewing, and facial development. It explains the root causes of OMDs—such as mouth breathing, low tongue posture, enlarged tonsils, and tongue ties—and how these can lead to poor jaw growth, behavioral issues, sleep-disordered breathing, and orthodontic relapse. The class highlights the importance of proper oral rest posture and nasal breathing, and explains how myofunctional therapy—an exercise-based approach—can help correct dysfunctional patterns. It emphasizes early intervention, collaborative care, and guides parents on what signs to look for, what questions to ask, and what steps to take to support healthy growth.
