+ Information:

Built on functional jaw orthopedics, airway physiology, and neuro-occlusal rehabilitation concepts, this program bridges dentistry with systemic function, giving clinicians a structured way to move from symptom management to causal treatment. It shifts clinical thinking from teeth-centered intervention to function-driven diagnosis and long-term stability. The course is designed to fundamentally expand how dentistry defines diagnosis, function, and treatment success by teaching how to identify primary dysfunctions and reorganize them through evidence-based neuro-occlusal principles.

Learning Objectives

• Implement the breath to heal neurofunctional rehabilitation approach.

• Identify the primary dysfunction behind common dental and skeletal problems.

• Interpret occlusal patterns as adaptive functional responses.

• Apply Planas Tracks and Simões Network concepts in clinical practice.

• Integrate myofunctional therapy within functional treatment planning.

• Master clinical decision-making regarding when to treat, when to observe, and when to intervene.

Target Audience

This program is designed for dental professionals seeking to bridge dentistry with systemic function, transforming their approach from localized symptom management to comprehensive, causal treatment based on neuro-occlusal and airway principles.

Best for Orthodontists, Pediatric Dentists, and General Dentists.
