 ionship between orofacial myofunctional disorders\, sleep-disordered breat
 hing\, and obstructive sleep apnea. Participants will gain an understandin
 g of how myofunctional therapy can complement oral appliance therapy and o

 ion in sleep disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea2.Identify co
 mmon oral and facial findings associated with airway compromise3.Explain h
 ow myofunctional therapy may compliment treatments for sleep apnea and sle
 ep disordered breathing4.Incorporate myofunctional screening into your wor
 kflow5.Develop interdisciplinary treatment strategies6.Recognize realistic
  expectations\, limitations and outcomes when integration myofunctional th
 erapy into your practiceAbout our Presenter: Dr. Heidi Johnson is a gradua
