Welcome!
Dr Dan and Dr Donny have a combined experience of using Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) of over 20 years. Not only have they learned the theory and practical aspects from the best OMT educators in the business. They have both successfully incorporated OMT into busy dental practices and know how hard it can be to make it work.
What they bring to the world of OMT education is direct experience of introducing successful OMT programs to no less than 8 practices between them. They know what works and what doesn't work. With their âTake Offâ algorithms program they have created a method which is easy to follow and highly effective.
You will learn over 70 different exercises and more importantly you will be coached on when to use each exercise while still keeping every OMT treatment plan bespoke for each patient. No patient is the same, and no ideal OMT plan is the same either. Therefore, you will learn how to tailor the plan according to clinical need.
Educational tools will include live demonstrations, videography and the unique âTake Offâ algorithms which tell the user which exercises to use according to the specific overall muscular dysfunction of the patient at that moment in time. âTake Offâ algorithms enable the practitioner to key in a specific code for the dysfunction and generate an appropriate treatment plan - so you will go away from this course with pre-made treatment plans which are written according to the patientâs specific treatment need.
You will download 180 different treatment plans which correspond to 180 different dysfunction codes. The hard work is done for you. All you need to do is have the skill to diagnose the dysfunction and learn how to âtweakâ the plans as needed.
Learn
- how to diagnose orofacial dysfunction
- to perform OMT effectively
- over 70 OMT exercises to use on your patients, filmed in HD
- the âTake Offâ algorithm System to generate a pre-written OMT plan to suit the dysfunction
- in-depth breathing physiology and Buteyko theory
- breathing education and breathing training exercises
- comprehensive âTongue and Lip Tieâ diagnosis and treatment planning
- frenectomy surgical techniques
- potential causes and known effects of tongue ties, lip ties and buccal ties. Also known as Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTS).
- how to prepare the patient before and rehabilitate the patient after treatment
- how to work effectively in an inter-disciplinary team and the importance of collaborative care
Course materials to download include:
- 180 pre-written algorithms based OMT prescriptions to match your patientâs current pattern of dysfunction
- descriptions and purpose of 70 OMT exercises
- comprehensive workbook to go with the course
- PDFs of lecture slides
- research papers and comprehensive patient assessment forms
