Dr Dan has been using Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) in clinical practice over 15 years.

He has learned the theory and practical aspects from the best OMT educators in the business and has successfully incorporated OMT into busy dental practices and knows how hard it can be to make it work. Dr Dan can provide the solutions to making it work effectively.

What Dan brings to the world of OMT education is direct experience of introducing successful OMT programs into 6 different dental practices, as well as mentoring hundreds of health professionals over many years.
