Make The Connection
Atlanta, GA · September 24–26, 2026
Up to 3.6 ASHA CEUs · Hybrid · 3 days liveThe patterns behind malocclusion, relapse, and airway start with function.
You see the consequences of orofacial dysfunction every day: open bites, crowding, orthodontic relapse, mouth breathing, and the airway concerns that come with them. Tongue posture and oral habits are often the engine underneath. Make The Connection gives you the functional lens that dentistry usually leaves out.
Built to be interdisciplinary, the course teaches you how myofunctional assessment and therapy support orthodontic stability, airway-focused care, and the referrals that make co-treatment work. You'll understand what to look for, what to refer, and how to build the team around the patient.
Tongue thrust and low resting posture are leading drivers of orthodontic relapse. Understanding the functional pattern protects your treatment outcomes.
Mouth breathing and oral posture tie directly to airway and sleep. This course grounds the airway conversation in function you can assess.
Learn to coordinate with SLPs, physicians, and osteopaths so myofunctional therapy and dentistry reinforce each other.
