Why choose this course over others?
We see our job as being the guys who travel around the world to learn from the best we can find in the 'myofunctional field'. We then distill our knowledge and bring back the best of the best into one seamless and coherent system which we call the 'Myofocus System'.
We are very proud that Myofocus is independent of myofunctional appliance companies and although we sometimes receive some sponsorship fees at courses, we do not receive a cent for any appliance sales, so you can rest assured that we are providing non biased, independent advice.
Dr Dan Hanson and Dr Donny Mandrawa have worked in no less than 8 myofunctional dental clinics between them. They have had the experience of what works well and what doesn't, both clinically and logistically.
They look forward to not only sharing the clinical aspects of caring for patients effectively, but also to sharing their insights on the 'business of 'myofunctional orthodontics', so that you can leave the course feeling confident about getting started, or improving your current methods of treatment.
We also offer a variety of post course support options including various closed private social media groups where you can interact with other students and ask questions well as 'case support' where we will plan your cases for you for a small fee. In addition we also have 'in-house' training options with us attending your clinic to deliver a tailor made training day for your entire team.
