About Face: 180° From the Norm
About Face: 180° From the Norm

About Face is broken down into five easy-to-follow modules:
Module 1: Decoding the Face Your “myo-eyes” can spot major dysfunction a mile away, but do you recognize the subtle signs of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders? This module teaches how to spot covert signs of poor oral rest posture based on the appearance of the face and oral cavity.
Module 2: Deep Dive into Development You already know that form and function have a bi-directional relationship, but can you explain the science behind that belief? A deeper dive into this concept will help you understand the scientific principles behind bone growth, bone remodeling and muscle development so you can know why and how these myo principles work.
Module 3: Get Handsy We have entered the age of tele-everything! It’s possible you only took an online introductory course, and you only treated online teletherapy patients until this point. You may have taken in-person training, but have you completed a hands-on patient assessment? This module will teach you to put that earned knowledge into hands-on action.
Module 4: Remediation Roadmap At this point in the course, you can easily recognize Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, you grasp the science behind the therapy, and you’re gaining confidence with proper assessment. Now, it’s time to figure out how to treat the problem using the exercises you already have – regardless of the manual you use!
Module 5: Party Line One day, you will treat a patient whose OMD goes beyond simple Orofacial Myology exercises. At this point, you will need to consult with other industry professionals – bodyworkers, oral surgeons, ENTs, orthodontists, etc. The final module teaches you how to “speak the same language” and effectively communicate your patient’s case.
This course is 6.5 hours of information you can’t get anywhere else! In addition to the video modules, About Face includes a workbook to use throughout the course, downloadable marketing collateral, a Quick Reference Guide, and a Tongue Thrust Graphic. You will also receive an official Certificate of Completion.
So, are you ready to do an ABOUT FACE?
