We believe that a healthy smile starts with healthy breathing habits.
Myo2 OKC is a specialized clinic in Oklahoma City focused on improving oral and airway health through innovative treatments. We offer services such as Myobrace and Buteyko breathing techniques, which target issues like mouth breathing, improper tongue posture, and other habits that can affect dental and facial development. Our approach emphasizes early, non-invasive orthodontic treatments to prevent more serious issues later in life.
The clinic is led by Dr. Cathy Sherry, a certified Myobrace provider and Buteyko instructor, who has a background in interceptive orthodontics and airway health. Myo2 OKC also provides educational resources and hosts events to promote awareness of functional breathing and orthodontics.
Our goal is to help your child (and you) breathe easier, sleep better, and live a happier, healthier life!
We will help to determine the underlying causes that affect their growth and development.

Dr. Cathy Sherry
Certified Myobrace Provider
Certified Buteyko Instructor
Dr. Sherry received her BA in Psychology from the University of Oklahoma and her DDS from OU Health Science Center. Interceptive Orthodontics has always been a passion of Dr. Sherry, which involves treating patients at a younger age to prevent future orthodontic problems.
In 2011, Dr. Sherry was honored with the Best Invisalign Case award in the US and Canada. She has published numerous case studies, one of which is a journal article in the International Association for Orthodontics Journal. This particular article covers a case involving the redirection of facial growth in an adult patient who was experiencing airway issues.
The How & Why of Early Treatment
The treatment involves parents and children working together between appointments with a child-friendly program. It involves commitment and consistency.
An appliance is worn one hour each day and all night, every night
Exercises take 2 minutes twice per day
Visits are scheduled every 3-4 weeks
Patients can use an iPad/iPhone app for exercise tracking, progress, and support.
If treated early, many orthodontic problems may require a shorter treatment time in the future. Crooked teeth are a symptom of a problem elsewhere in the body, attempting to adapt. Nasal breathing is the only valid finish line in pediatric sleep-disordered breathing!

“No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.”
