Andrea Melnyk
Saskatchewan Myofunctional Therapy
Andrea graduated from the Dental Hygiene program at the University of Alberta in 2007. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree specializing in Dental Hygiene and began her career as a registered dental hygienist in Edmonton, AB.
Andrea became interested in the field of orofacial myology after attending a continuing education course that highlighted the positive outcomes and life changing results orofacial myofunctional therapy can have on individuals. In 2013, Andrea began her training in orofacial myology at the Coulson Institute in Denver, Colorado. She has completed numerous training courses since then, and most recently, achieved her certification with the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM).
She owns and operates Saskatchewan Myofunctional Therapy, the first Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy clinic in the province whose sole purpose is to treat myofunctional disorders.
Andrea is committed to providing individualized therapy for patients of all ages. She is passionate about prevention and addressing the root cause of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) rather than just treating the symptoms. Her expertise includes correcting oral rest posture, noxious oral habit elimination, tongue thrust correction and identifying tongue and lip ties.
