Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy - The Business

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is a program used to correct the improper function of the tongue and facial muscles used at rest, for chewing, and for swallowing.  When an important function such as swallowing is thrown off, problems may develop.  Becoming an Orofacial Myofunctional l Therapist is a natural career progression for Dental Hygienists.  As oral care therapists, we are able to partner with our patients to co-diagnose, co-treatment plan, and mutually enjoy healthy management of dental illness and abnormalities. But, just like any business, you have to have the correct tools in place to be successful.
