For Referring Providers

A Myofunctional Therapy Partner for Your Patients — and Your Practice

Myofunctional Mastery works alongside dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, sleep physicians, release providers, and SLPs across greater San Antonio and the Hill Country. Carol Chavez, RDH, brings nearly two decades of dental-side experience — so your referral is evaluated, treated, and reported back the way you'd expect from a clinical colleague.

How Co-Management Works

A simple loop designed to keep you informed without adding work for your front office.

1
You Refer

Send the patient our way by email or phone — no forms or portals required. We schedule a comprehensive myofunctional evaluation, usually within one to two weeks.

2
We Evaluate & Report Back

You receive a written evaluation summary covering oral rest posture, tongue mobility, breathing pattern, and habits — plus the proposed therapy plan and how it supports your treatment.

3
We Co-Manage

Progress updates at key milestones, coordination around appliance changes or release procedures, and a discharge summary when therapy goals are met.

What You'll Receive Back

Written evaluation summary after the initial assessment
Progress notes at treatment milestones relevant to your care
Pre- and post-frenectomy coordination, including neuromuscular re-education before and after release
Attendance at key appointments — Carol regularly joins patients at orthodontic and release visits
A discharge summary documenting outcomes and habit stability
Direct access to Carol for case questions — no gatekeeping

Who to Refer

Patients of any age with signs of orofacial myofunctional disorder. Common flags you may already be seeing chairside:

Tongue thrust swallow or anterior open bite; orthodontic relapse after treatment
Mouth breathing, low tongue rest posture, or chronic open-lip posture
Restricted lingual frenum — before and after release
Snoring, restless sleep, bruxism, or positive sleep-screening results
Prolonged thumb, finger, or pacifier habits
TMJ discomfort, tension headaches, or facial muscle strain

Screening & Chairside Toolkit

Printable resources for your operatories and front desk — the same materials Carol shares with partner offices.

All downloads are print-ready. Want printed copies for your office? Email Carol and she'll get you stocked.

Bring Myo to Your Team

Carol offers complimentary lunch-and-learns for dental, orthodontic, ENT, and pediatric practices in the San Antonio area — a practical 45 minutes on spotting airway and myofunctional red flags, what therapy involves, and how referrals flow. Your team eats, Carol teaches.
