Brief summary

Randomized clinical trial , with a sample of 60 children with atypical swallowing, class II and with SN1 orthopedic appliances these patients were randomly divided into, group 1: 30 patients with SN1 orthopedic appliances and myofunctional therapy and group 2: 30 patients with SN1 orthopedic appliances and without myofunctional therapy.

Detailed description

Randomized clinical trial with two parallel arms, on a sample of 60 children with atypical swallowing, class II and with SN1 orthopedic appliances, these patients were randomly divided into, group 1: 30 patients with SN1 orthopedic appliances and myofunctional therapy and group 2: 30 patients with SN1 orthopedic appliances and without myofunctional therapy for the study. Both groups carried out the evaluation of the protocol that included: 1) evaluation of the dental occlusion class and skeletal classification 2) swallowing function test using the Payne technique; 3) Mioscaner analysis to measure perioral forces, i.e. tongue extension force, lip pressure, masseter contraction force.

Interventions

OTHERMyofuncional Therapy

Group 1, with myofunctional therapy and SN1 functional orthopedic appliances The participant underwent a myofunctional therapy session every month, for 9 months. In this group, a series of procedures and techniques are carried out to create and mechanize muscular and orofacial patterns at rest and in function, eliminate habits, correct muscular imbalance, improve the aesthetics of the patient and normalize the functions of the stomatognathic system. The myofunctional therapy performed will be by an expert speech therapist
