Myofunctional Day with Specialist Fabiola Nossa

For professionals interested in Myofunctional Orofacial Therapy

Date: February 12, 2027

Location: Bucharest, Romania

Speaker: Fabiola Nossa (Certified Specialist in Orofacial Myology)

Orofacial function plays an essential role in breathing, tongue posture, swallowing, chewing, and overall oral health. This module focuses on clinical evaluation, targeted exercise protocols, and practical applications in orofacial myofunctional therapy.

Participants will learn how to perform a comprehensive functional evaluation, recognize key deficiencies, select appropriate exercises, and develop individualized protocols based on each patient’s clinical findings, age, abilities, and level of cooperation.
