New Trends in Myofunctional Therapy | 2nd Edition
Understanding orofacial dysfunction requires looking beyond individual muscles and symptoms to consider the complex relationships between function, structure, and posture.
New Trends in Myofunctional Therapy, 2nd Edition explores the connections between orofacial musculature, dental occlusion, craniofacial development, and body posture through an interdisciplinary lens.
Written by Licia Coceani Paskay, a founder of the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT), and Sabina Saccomanno, this richly illustrated textbook brings together perspectives from orthodontics, speech-language pathology, osteopathy, and otolaryngology.
Combining scientific foundations, clinical cases, and practical therapeutic resources, the book offers clinicians a broader framework for assessment, treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
