Registered Dental Hygienist – Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist (Associate)
Help Shape the Future of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy in Canada

Founded in 2020, Oral-Facial Advantage | Myofunctional Therapy continues to grow.

Following the opening of our new five-operatory specialty clinic in Ottawa, I am looking for an experienced Registered Dental Hygienist to join the team.

This is an opportunity to transition from traditional dental hygiene into a rewarding specialty career within an established clinic dedicated entirely to airway, breathing, oral function, sleep, and facial development.

You'll focus on becoming an outstanding Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist while I provide the mentorship, systems, administrative support, and clinical framework to support your success.

Skip years of trial and error. Build your own practice within an established clinic with a collaborative team, an existing flow of new patient referrals, proven systems, marketing, and administrative support already in place.

You’re joining a clinic that offers:

• A dedicated Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy practice
• A collaborative team of Registered Dental Hygienists turned Orofacial Myofunctional Therapists who share knowledge, discuss cases, and support one another's growth while working toward a common goal of exceptional patient care.
• Extensive one-on-one mentorship and shadowing provided directly by Alicia Proper, OMT, RDH
• Individualized training in assessment, treatment planning, patient communication, clinical reasoning, and the systems developed through years of dedicated Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy practice
• A structured onboarding process designed to help you build confidence and develop your own patient base
• Proven clinical systems, protocols, and treatment resources
• Administrative support so you can focus on patient care
• An existing referral network and growing reputation within the healthcare community
• The opportunity to build long-term relationships with your own patients while growing your practice within an established framework
• A new five-operatory specialty clinic

• As your schedule becomes established, associates typically earn the equivalent of $65–$85 per hour
• Flexible part-time to full-time opportunities. Make your own schedule.
• Start with as little as one day per week while training and grow to a minimum commitment of three days per week as your schedule develops

Required:

• Registered Dental Hygienist in good standing
• Minimum 5–6 years of clinical dental hygiene experience. Associates work independently after onboarding, I am looking for clinicians with the confidence, communication skills, and clinical experience that come with several years of practice.
• Already trained in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, or currently enrolled in an accredited Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy program with an expected completion date by September 2026
• A genuine passion for helping patients and continually improving your clinical skills

This opportunity is ideal for someone who:

• Wants to transition from traditional dental hygiene into a specialty career
• Is kind, caring, and compassionate
• Enjoys encouraging and motivating others
• Is non-judgmental and patient-centred
• Finds fulfillment in helping people improve their health and quality of life
• Loves learning and continual professional growth
• Is comfortable working independently
• Wants to become a trusted Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist within the healthcare community
• Is excited to help build something exceptional

As Oral-Facial Advantage continues to grow, opportunities for mentorship, leadership, and clinic management may become available for associates who demonstrate initiative, commitment, and a desire to help shape the future of the profession.

If you're looking for more than just another hygiene position and are excited by the opportunity to build a meaningful career in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, I would love to hear from you.

I'm looking for clinicians who are committed to exceptional patient care and who want to help elevate the profession of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.
