Brittny received her degree from the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene at MCPHS in 2011 and post graduate training in Myofunctional Therapy through the AOMT and IAOM in 2016 and 2017. Brittny is an educator and mentor for Dental Sleep Toolbox and Airway Health Solutions, training other registered dental hygienists who share the same passion in becoming myofunctional therapists. Brittny is also the face behind the podcast, “I Spy with My Myo Eye”.

I was so excited about recording this podcast after hearing Brittny speak on a course I was doing, so I contacted her and was so delighted when she said she would do the podcast with me!

We cover some incredible topics, and I think you will struggle not to find someone you know who this will be so helpful for! We talk about:

  • What is OMT?
  • Issues with incorrect oral muscles patterns
  • Problems that can be associated with incorrect oral muscle patterns
  • Impact of mouth breathing and the benefits of nasal breathing
  • Why do you begin to mouth breathe? What causes poor oral muscle development?
  • Tongue ties and the impact this has
  • How bottle feeding and pacifiers can have an affect on oral muscle patterns
