Description
The development of the dentition is influenced by the balance and function of the orofacial musculature. The opposing forces from the buccal soft tissues and tongue are necessary to maintain the dentition in good form and function. When this balance is disrupted, it can cause malocclusion of varying degrees. Screening therapy aims to eliminate abnormal muscle forces and prevent the development of malocclusion, or intercept it if it has already begun. The oral screen is a myofunctional appliance used in early interceptive treatment, with various modifications made by different researchers. The following case report describes the correction of developing malocclusion and the orthopedic effects achieved with the use of a modified oral screen.
