Myofunctional Appliances

Myofunctional appliances use the facial muscles and masticatory muscles to produce changes in the relation of teeth or arches. This means that these appliances aim to utilize, eliminate or guide the forces arising from muscle function, tooth eruption and growth in order to alter skeletal and dental relationships. These appliances alter the arrangement of various muscle groups that influence the mandible's function and position to transmit force to the dentition and basal bone.
