The field of orofacial myology is a specialty area within speech-language pathology and dental hygiene that treats Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs). Tongue thrusting is the most recognizable, over-emphasized and misunderstood of the many OMDs. Since the primary causes of OMDs are unresolved airway issues and allergies, patients with OMDs suspected of having airway interferences or allergies are referred to otolaryngologists to identify and treat airway interferences prior to the initiation of myofunctional therapy. The purpose of this editorial is to alert otolaryngologists to the variety of orofacial myofunctional Disorders (OMDs), their associated airway interferences, allergies, and selected malocclusions can develop. An understanding of the variety of OMDs should facilitate improved communications between otolaryngologists and orofacial myologists who refer OMD patients for definitive evaluation and treatment.
