This is a three-arm, unblinded, randomized controlled clinical study. The sample consists of 60 participants divided equally into 3 groups: Group 1- orofacial myofunctional therapy combined with phot
Group 2 – orofacial myofunctional therapy combined with therapeutic ultrasound and Group 3 – control group orofacial myofunctional therapy. The intervention includes three modalities with the followi

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Avaliar intensidade da dor, espera-se encontrar diminuição da intensidade da dor pós intervenção. O método utizado para avaliar a intensidade da dor será a algometria (algmetro digital de pressão, modelo FPX)e escala visual analógica (EVA). Espera-se encontrar aumento do numero da algometria em relação ao pré e pós terapia, já na escala visual analógica, epera-se uma dimuição da dor com relação a marcação do pré e pós terapia, a partir da constatação de uma variação de pelo menos 5% nas medições pré e pós-intervenção. | — |

| Assess the thermoactive points on the face, it is expected to find a reduction in thermoactive points after the intervention. The method used to evaluate the thermoactive points on the face will be flir C2-X model thermography, thermographic evaluation will be carried out before and after carrying out the therapeutic intervention. A reduction in thermoactive points on the face post-intervention is expected, based on a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Evaluate the range of mandibular movements, it is expected to find more range of mandibular movements after intervention. The method used to evaluate mandibular movements will be carried out with a caliper, the evaluation of mandibular movements will be carried out before and after the therapeutic intervention with the verification of opening and lateralization movements.;Assess chewing performance, it is expected to find changes in chewing in the pre-therapy assessment. The method used to evaluate masticatory performance will be carried out using the amiofe protocol with an emphasis on stomatognathic functions. Assessment with the amiofe protocol will be carried out before starting therapy and reassessment will be carried out after the last therapy session. It is expected to find better chewing performance at the end of the research. | — |
