Meet Your Therapist
Karla Szewczykowksi RDH BSDH OMT
Hello and welcome to Lake Country Myo LLC! My name is Karla and I'm an orofacial myofunctional therapist, dental hygienist, and a mom. I began my career as a dental hygienist over a decade ago and have shifted into dentistry's airway side in recent years. Orofacial myofunctional therapy can help alleviate various symptoms from headaches, jaw pain, and sleep apnea, to clenching/grinding and more.
My path into orofacial myofunctional therapy began when my son was a toddler. I had witnessed apnea episodes early on. As his teeth started erupting, his teeth were crowding, and he was developing a Class III bite. He had developed a grinding habit and mouth breathing at night. Along with orofacial myofunctional therapy, and addressing underlying tethered oral tissues, my son is now on the path to a functional airway.
To help access to care for patients, I offer in office, in home, or telehealth therapy. My office is centrally located in Brookfield, WI and I have a wide range I travel for in home therapy!
