Research suggests that up to 38% of the general population has an Orofacial Myofunctional Disorder (OMD). Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders are atypical, adaptive patterns of the orofacial mechanism in response to suboptimal cranio and dento-facial development. These disorders can affect individuals across the lifespan and can have negativeconsequences on overall health. Since they are a multifactorial problem, intervention requires an integrated,multidisciplinary team approach. In this course, rehab professionals will learn the causes of OMDs, how to identifysigns and symptoms, consequences of untreated OMDs, andthe essential role they play in optimizing their patients' airwayhealth.

if you are already in support of omt and want many biased statements of how it affects literally everyone all the time, and you should be looking for it everywhere then this course is for you. if you want to know the 'why' or 'how' to implement assessment or treatment, differentially diagnose, or have mild skepticism of omt then this course is not for you.
