WORKSHOP: Myofunctional Therapy in Pediatric Patients: A Clear Approach to Craniofacial Development for a Healthy and Functional Smile
You will learn how to diagnose and treat pediatric patients. Specific activities will be presented in order to obtain full compliance of the patients and excellent results.
Introduction:
Myofunctional therapy, combined with the use of Myofunctional Research appliances, offers a unique and effective approach to the treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) in pediatric patients. This innovative approach integrates principles of epigenetics and craniofacial development to promote optimal growth and development, while addressing the underlying causes of OMDs.
Rationale:
During the pediatric growth period, the craniofacial complex is highly plastic and susceptible to the influence of environmental factors, including muscle function. Incorrect orofacial muscle habits, such as mouth breathing and atypical swallowing, can exert abnormal forces on the developing dentition and jaws, leading to malocclusion and other OMDs.
Conclusion:
Myofunctional therapy with Myosa and MyoTalea appliances represents a groundbreaking approach to the treatment of OMDs in pediatric patients. By integrating principles of epigenetics and craniofacial development, this innovative method offers a unique opportunity to optimize growth and development, while achieving a healthy and functional smile. The benefits of this approach extend beyond the correction of OMDs, contributing to improved overall health and well-being in children.
