MRC European Summit
OVERVIEW
A complete four-day training program for dental professionals.
COMBINING TMJ, SDB & MYOFUNCTIONAL ORTHODONTICS: For more than 30 years, Myofunctional Research Co. (MRC) has recognised breathing disorders as the major cause of malocclusion, poor jaw growth and TMJ Disorder (TMD). By effectively changing the way orthodontics for children is performed, the Myobrace® myofunctional orthodontic system fundamentally delivers airway and habit correction to resolve orthodontic problems.
LEARNING OUTCOMES

- Effectively educate parents and patients to achieve consistent results;
- Myofunctional orthodontics - treating the causes rather than the symptoms of malocclusion;

Dr Chris Farrell
BDS
Le Dr Chris Farrell a obtenu son diplôme de l'Université de Sydney en 1971 après avoir acquis une connaissance approfondie de l'orthodontie traditionnelle utilisant la technique BEGG. Son expérience clinique a conduit le Dr Farrell a s'intéresser aux troubles de l'articulation temporo-mandibulaire (ATM) et, après des recherches plus approfondies, il a découvert que l'étiologie de la malocclusion et des troubles de l'ATM était myofonctionnelle, conclusion qui contredisait les opinions établies dans sa profession. En 1989, le Dr Farrell a fondé Myofunctional Research Co. (MRC) pour développer des appareils myofonctionnels qui s'avéreraient efficaces dans le traitement orthodontique précoce. Ses systèmes d'appareils Trainer et Myobrace® sont désormais utilisés par des orthodontistes et des dentistes dans plus de 100 pays à travers la planète.

Dr Peter Jan Meulenbelt
Dr Peter Jan Meulenbelt graduated as a general practitioner from the University of Utrecht in 1981. His interest in orthodontics started in in the early 90’s when he attended the first course of Progressive Orthodontic Seminars (POS), introducing orthodontics to general practitioners. Together with three colleagues he founded the Orthodontic Association for General Practitioners (OVAP), which had around 450 general practitioners listed as members, and he was a member of the OVAP board for many years. In 1997, he organised a course (Habitual Mouth Breathing, more than just an orthodontic problem) and acted as moderator of this OVAP-course. After following several postgraduate courses within the Netherlands and abroad, his practice started working with the Bioprogressive Therapy of Dr Robert M. Ricketts. In 2012, he learned about MRC and the Myobrace® treatment protocols.
As a result of the summer of 2015, he started the first clinic for preventive orthodontics in the Netherlands, Wijs Met Je Neus, using myofunctional equipment and OMFT. In 2020, he started giving lectures to dentists and other practitioners on the health benefits of using the Myobrace® treatment system compared to traditional orthodontics. His interest in using the BWS in combination with Myobrace® has become a strong pillar of his practice.

Dr John Roberts
Born in Liverpool, England, Dr John Roberts qualified in dentistry at Leeds University in 1981. After working in NHS dental care, he started his own practice in Rochdale in 1987. This new practice allowed him to create a more holistic approach to dental care. This included mercury-free and safe restorative care, non-extraction orthodontics and prioritised preventive dental hygiene for general health. Being an early adopter of myofunctional therapy, this included cranial osteopathy, homeopathy, kinesiology, nutrition, and many other alternative health practices.
From 2000-2002 Dr Roberts studied part-time in Washington DC and achieved a second medical degree in integrative medicine.
His new integrative dental and health practice opened in 2003 for collaboration between dentist and other complementary health practitioners. It was a UK leading model for dental care being part of a health care team.
Dr Roberts moved back to a more holistic dental clinic in 2017 and now works independently in several dental practices throughout England and Scotland in conjunction with complementary health practitioners delivering dentistry for health and healing.
As John’s career has evolved, he now lectures in the UK and abroad on the structural link between dentistry, breathing, swallowing, posture, sleep and whole body health.
