Form Follows Function with Dr. Maryana Gayduk
05/07/24 • 38 min
When Dr. Mariana Gayduk noticed her grandson's struggles with mouth breathing, it struck a chord with her own past. As she joins us on the show, we get an intimate look at how these personal experiences fuel her passion for myofunctional therapy and holistic dental care. With over a quarter-century of dentistry under her belt, Dr. Gayduk unveils the complex weave of dental health, posture, speech, and overall well-being, teaching us that the mouth is more than just a gateway to our stomachs—it's a pivotal component of our health matrix.
Have you ever considered the profound impact of orofacial muscle function on your life? We spend this episode unpacking the often overlooked importance of myofunctional therapy in correcting dysfunctional breathing, chewing, and swallowing habits. With expert insight, Dr. Gayduk and I dissect the value of specialized training for dental and speech professionals, the collaborative dance between various medical disciplines, and the essential role of patient participation. This conversation is a wake-up call, highlighting the desperate need for early intervention and the synergy required for truly comprehensive care.
As we wrap up, we delve into the complexities of facial development and the limitations of myofunctional therapy when skeletal changes are at stake. Dr. Gayduk shares her wisdom on innovative interventions like RPE and MARPE and reflects on the interplay between structure and function in our faces. We leave you with a genuine thank you for joining us on this journey, encouraging you to carry the torch of awareness for this transformative therapy. Goodbye for now, but remember, the healthiest conversations often start with a smile.
