I'm hoping to get my COM soon so I was excited to read this one! I agree it's important, BUT can be a bit of a hamster wheel like you said, especially if your structure has already deteriorated quite a bit. I can attest to that, as I did myofunctional therapy for about a month, and my therapist told me I probably wouldn't get profound results unless I did an expansive adult appliance, like VIVOS or ALF. And then I didn't get a good gut feeling about those based on the mixed results I was seeing. Then eventually found my way here. Haha! But this makes me excited. Feels like an important piece of the puzzle and I hope I can be of service to the continued development of this field!
It's certified orofacial myologist. There's also OMT, COMT and MFT depending on the program.
And yeah it's amazing how simple it should really be. I was quoted $20k for an airway "package" option including vivos, tongue tie revision, Invisalign, and myofunctional therapy!

what is a COM?
yes no need for VIVOS or ALF. Simple mouthguard is all you need.

wow.. crazy
What is the picture of the boy about?
That is just a before & after i found on some myofunctional therapist's site.
Soft tissue did change a bit. Lines of the skull got crisper and teeth corrected. Most likely he was wearing a myobrace while doing the therapy.
