It always make my day when patients come back to see me!<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s exciting to see how Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) can help a patient’s dental occlusion continue to improve years later after graduating from OMT…in this case, 22 years later!!!<\/p>\n

This male patient was referred to me by his pediatric dentist, Dr. Mark Kogut of My Kids DDS\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0when he was 15 years old.<\/p>\n

An Orofacial Myofunctional evaluation revealed an Orofacial Myofunctional Disorder (OMD) characterized by an incorrect oral rest posture of his tongue and lips resulting in a dental openbite and overjet.<\/p>\n

Since the primary cause of an OMD is nasal airway problems, he was referred to the Allergist and ENT on my team who understand Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs). The Allergist’s evaluation revealed Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis and the\u00a0ENT evaluation revealed a nasal structural obstruction resulting in a tonsillectomy and partial inferior turbinate reduction. Once he healed from the surgeries\u00a0and once the Allergist taught him how to control his allergies, Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) was initiated at this clinic.<\/p>\n

The first set of\u00a0photos were taken when he was 15 years old.<\/p>\n

The second set of photos were taken\u00a0during\u00a0OMT.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The third set of photos were taken when he was seen 3 years after completing OMT.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fourth set of photos were taken 22 years after OMT. \u00a0Notice how his dental occlusion has continued to improve with no additional orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n
