We are excited to introduce Myofocus, an exclusive and groundbreaking program on Myofunctional Orthodontics and Tongue Tie, making its debut in Dubai. This comprehensive eight-day program is specifically designed for orthodontists, pedodontists, and dentists seeking to enhance their understanding and skills in this rapidly evolving field.
What is Myofocus?
The Myofocus Pre-Orthodontic System combines the best from all of the major myofunctional techniques and appliances, including MyoMunchee. Myobrace, and Oral Myofunctional Therapy. Furthermore, it uses philosophies and treatments from Biobloc Orthotropics and Functional Jaw Orthopedics to deliver a complete system, for the growing child.
The application of breathing techniques used by elite athletes to improve nasal airflow, as well as nutritional science to reduce inflammation assists with appliance use; and the incorporation of manual therapy to assist with cranial strains; and calisthenic exercises to improve core strength leads to improved posture with superior results.
Myofocus dentists apply leadership skills, welcoming, child friendly environments and modern behavioural science, to help create positive attitudinal changes to improve compliance in children and their families.
The program also includes hands-on workshops, allowing participants to apply the concepts learned in a practical setting. Engage in interactive discussions, case studies, and group exercises to refine your skills and gain confidence in implementing Myofunctional Orthodontics and Tongue Tie treatments.
Furthermore, participants will have access to valuable research papers and resources that offer a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and evidence-based practices in Myofunctional Orthodontics.
