Introduction to Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy - Alumni

If you are an ALUMNUS OF THE INTRO COURSE with the AOMT, please continue here and read below!

However, if you are NEW to the AOMT, or have taken a course (other than the Intro course)  please enroll as a NEW STUDENT: https://courses.aomtinfo.org/offers/NzWjnJWP

Introduction to Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (Part 1) is a proven, evidence based intensive course designed to prepare clinicians to begin to see and treat patients who have Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs). It is designed as an intensive, hands on workshop to prepare clinicians to begin treating patients. The treatment protocols may be used with young children through patients into adulthood and the assessment principles are driven by early identification of OMDs.

The Introduction to OMT Part 1 course has 4 main components:

1. History of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) and the Etiology of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs)
2. How to identify/diagnose OMDs along with the related anatomy and pathology (Assessment)
3. How to treat OMDs: structured, phased exercises to treat and correct OMDs, eliminate noxious habits, and work with patients who present with CoMorbidities (OSA, TMD, et al).
4. How to integrate and market OMT in a multi-disciplinary environment, working with ENTs, SLPs, maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, general dentists, sleep medicine doctors, pediatricians, and others.

Also included:

  • Current Evidence Based Research
  • Anatomy/ Physiology / Pathology of OMDs
  • Complete Habit Elimination Program (i.e., thumbsucking)
  • Comprehensive Treatment Program (exercises in a complete treatment program with reference session videos to assure correct application)
  • Successful Marketing and Practice Building
  • Ongoing consulting support as you begin to see patients
