WAALWIJK, Netherlands: From 18 to 20 November, the seventh edition of the MRC European Summit, hosted by Myofunctional Research Co. (MRC), will take place at the company’s European training facility in Waalwijk in the southern Netherlands. The event will bring together dental professionals from around the world interested in the treatment of myofunctional disorders, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).

The summit programme will cover a wide range of topics through lectures and workshops. Topics include the future of orthodontics through the integration of breathing and myofunctional techniques, as well as addressing underlying causes rather than symptoms using myofunctional orthodontics.

Dr John Flutter focuses on supporting healthy growth, facial development and long-term orthodontic stability.

Participants will also gain insights into the latest research on myofunctional disorders, TMD, SDB, tongue-tie and soft tissue dysfunction. In addition, practical aspects of implementing MRC’s myofunctional treatment systems in daily clinical practice will be addressed, alongside treatment planning and case discussions.

The workshops will be closely linked to the lectures and led by the speakers themselves, providing practitioners with a direct connection between the latest insights and practical tools for daily practice. The programme will be followed by a variety of social evening events, offering further opportunities to connect with colleagues from different countries.

The event will feature an extensive line-up of internationally renowned experts, including:

  • Dr Steffen Decker, a specialist in lingual orthodontics from the UK, who takes a comprehensive approach to patient development by connecting breathing, dentition, function and growth;
  • Patrick McKeown, founder and CEO of Oxygen Advantage in Ireland, and an internationally recognised breathing expert, author and educator who has trained children, teenagers and adults in breathing techniques that help decongest the nose, improve functional breathing and address habitual mouth breathing; and
  • Dr John Flutter, a UK orthodontist who has been practising for more than 45 years and is a TMD and SDB specialist focusing on techniques to establish nasal breathing, supporting healthy growth, facial development and long-term orthodontic stability.

For more than 35 years, MRC’s treatment systems have helped practitioners around the world treat orthodontic, TMD and airway issues in both children and adults. The company’s appliances—Myobrace, Myosa and Myoretainr—aim to correct poor oral habits, support proper arch development and improve dental alignment by addressing underlying breathing and myofunctional causes.
