Orofacial Myology condition arises “out of the blue”
Tuesday, 01 December 2015
Does a tongue thrust ever just “develop" after a client has been in braces for a period of time? Or it is more likely that the tongue thrust was present but just undetected until a certain time? Or would it depend upon the occlusion and other factors?

Hi I am interested in purchasing your Myo Manual
Monday, 10 September 2012
I started out using Garliner’s program, which sounds like the one you were introduced to. I used it in the 1970’s!

Can I do Myo Manual program on my own
Thursday, 29 December 2011
I noticed as well that I tend to keep my mouth partially open when I get distracted. I was researching the internet and I saw a video and found the website.
I think your kit could be a good idea. Is it possible to do it on my own, just from the manual?

Adult with airway issues
Thursday, 01 December 2011
Surgeons tend to look at the anatomy and then predict what problems are the result of what they see, rather than actually measuring airflow, as is done in most cleft palate clinics. The anatomy is not a good guide to predict the physiology involved...
