This course focuses on identifying symptoms of craniofacial deficiencies, analyzing airway anatomy to detect unhealthy patients, and using the cotton roll technique to troubleshoot oral rest posture. We will explore the importance of ideal craniofacial growth and development and discuss current breastfeeding trends. Further, we will differentiate between nasal breathing and mouth breathing. Overall, this course is designed to enhance your knowledge and skills in recognizing and managing craniofacial deficiencies and promoting healthy oral posture.
