COURSE SUMMARY: What Every
Dental Professional Needs to Know...
Orofacial -- the
muscles around the mouth, the tongue and muscles in the face, jaw
and neck.
Myology -- the study of
muscles and muscle tissue. The muscular system (myology) consists
of skeletal muscles that contact to move or position different
parts of the body. Orofacial muscles move the muscles in the face,
lips, tongue, neck and jaws.
Orofacial Myology is the training or
re-training of the tongue, lips, cheeks, neck, jaw and body
posture. This technique is used to retrain muscle
patterns for rest, swallowing and speech. It 'switches-on' the
proper muscles and 'switches off' the improperly used muscles to
only be used at the proper time.
This therapy is also beneficial to the
treatment of oral disorders and parafunctional habits such
as tongue thrust, forward tongue rest posture, incorrect
swallowing, thumb, finger and pacifier habits, nail biting, Down
syndrome issues, cerebral palsy, facial paralysis issues such as
Bell's Palsy, mouth breathing, snoring and mild sleep apnea,
