Meet The Team
Jackilyn Lopez DA, RDH, MAS™, Myofunctional Therapist
I am a native Tucsonan. I have been in the dental field for 10 + years as a dental assistant and dental hygienist . I became a myofunctional therapist after seeing myself and children affected by sleep disordered breathing. I have 3 young children and 2 dogs. I love to do portrait photography and being out in nature camping and hiking. I want to help you and/or your child through the myofunctional therapy process for a healthy life.
