Abstract

28 patients in an orthodontic practice who dem­onstrated both characteristic malocclusion forms with deficiency in the sagittal, transverse and vertical dimensions and orofacial dyskinesia of the in­ner and outer circles were divided according to clinical criteria into two therapy groups within the framework of a pilot study. One group was treated exclusively with myofunctional therapy, the other with myofunctlonal therapy and orthodontic appli­ances (for example activators). Specific examination and goal parameters were documented at the commencement and the conclusion of therapy.
