چکیده
Introduction. It was previously demonstrated that abnormal neuromuscular function can disturb the development of an optimal dentofacial pattern. Objectives. The role of the present study was to investigate the effect of myofunctional appliances in the interception of malocclusion. Material and method. The role of myofunctional trainers in the interception of malocclusion was evaluated. We present one case treated with T4K and another one with Myobrace, together with the obtained result after a period of maximum 8 months. Results. The cases showed significantly better alignment and occlusion after the myofunctional treatment. Conclusion. Myofunctional therapy can be very useful in intercepting malocclusions and providing initial alignment.
