My name is Dr. Patricia Serna.  I am a general dentist in the Houston area.  Before meeting Ms. Shahar I had heard of the power of myofunctional therapy, but I was skeptical.  Could exercises really help an open bite or sleep apnea?  And would the patients even do the exercises? Ms. Shahar came in one day to do a lunch and learn and the very next day I had a patient with a severe open bite.  She stated that it seemed to be getting worse. I cautiously mentioned Ms. Shahar and that the patient may want to consult with her.  That began a life changing process for my patient.  It was complicated and involved several different referrals, but the results have been incredible.  My patient’s sleep apnea is so much better, her open bite is fixed, and the patient is extremely pleased.  If Ms. Shahar could manage this case I am very confident that she can manage anything!  Thanks Ms. Shahar.  I now feel like I have another avenue with which to treat my patients.
