Kasie Cussen is a registered dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist dedicated to supporting whole-body wellness through preventive, patient-centered care. She believes that a healthy mouth is a powerful foundation for overall health and takes pride in helping patients feel informed, comfortable, and empowered throughout their care.

Her interest in dentistry began after witnessing her brother undergo a life-changing smile transformation. Seeing how dental care could restore both confidence and quality of life inspired her to pursue a career focused on helping others experience the same impact.

Over time, Kasie developed a special interest in myofunctional therapy and airway-centered care. While working in biological dentistry, she became increasingly aware of the connection between oral health, breathing, sleep quality, and overall wellness. Her professional interest became personal when she recognized signs of orofacial dysfunction in her own daughter, inspiring her to pursue advanced training in functional therapy and airway health.

Today, Kasie works with both children and adults to address breathing, swallowing, sleep, and oral function. Her approach emphasizes education, consistency, and practical strategies that help patients build healthier habits and improve their quality of life.

Since joining Wrigleyville Dental in 2019, Kasie has embraced the practice’s philosophy of integrative, whole-person care. Outside the office, she proudly serves in the National Guard and enjoys spending time with her partner, Dan, and their daughter, Robin.
