Orofacial Myofunctional Assessments In Adults With Malocclusion: A Scoping Review, Samantha C. Washington, Jayanti Ray
Orofacial Myofunctional Assessments In Adults With Malocclusion: A Scoping Review, Samantha C. Washington, Jayanti Ray
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
Background: Breathing, chewing, swallowing, sleep, and speech disorders are known to be associated with malocclusions. Assessment protocols using non-instrumental evaluation of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) in adults with malocclusions are almost nonexistent. Purpose: This scoping review aimed to determine the existence of scientific evidence demonstrating the areas of non-instrumental assessment of OMD in adults with malocclusion. Another purpose was to identify the protocols for assessing the nature of orofacial myofunctional assessments in adults with malocclusion. Methods: An electronic search was performed in the databases: MEDLINE, EBSCOhost, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Health & Medical Collection, Medline, Nursing and Allied Health Database, …
Review Of New Trends In Myofunctional Therapy: Occlusion, Muscles And Posture, By Saccomanno And Paskay (2020), Jayanti Ray
Review Of New Trends In Myofunctional Therapy: Occlusion, Muscles And Posture, By Saccomanno And Paskay (2020), Jayanti Ray
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
The field of myofunctional therapy (MT) is complex, as it covers theoretical and practical information on many topics to effectively assess and treat orofacial myofunctional disorders, also known as myofunctional disorders, including tongue thrust, tongue posture, tongue-tie, orthodontic concepts, oral habits, and more. This review summarizes the strengths and usefulness of the book New Trends in Myofunctional Therapy: Occlusion, Muscles and Posture (Saccomanno & Paskay, 2020). The review informs the audience about various important features of the book, chapter materials, and the overall usefulness of the content for professionals working in MT. Providing cutting-edge information, the book draws substantive support …
Perceptions Of Tongue-Bulb Comfort And Stability With And Without Anti-Slip Patches During Assessments Of Tongue Strength And Endurance, Heidi A. Vanravenhorst-Bell, Lucy M. Cook
Perceptions Of Tongue-Bulb Comfort And Stability With And Without Anti-Slip Patches During Assessments Of Tongue Strength And Endurance, Heidi A. Vanravenhorst-Bell, Lucy M. Cook
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
Purpose: The Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) is commonly used to measure tongue strength and endurance. The tongue, however, is reported to periodically move from its intended placement on the IOPI bulb during measurement. This study sought to determine one’s perception of tongue-to-bulb slippage with and without two anti-slip patches (Patch1 – flexible fabric, Patch2 – hypoallergenic micropore fabric) and whether measures of tongue strength and endurance differed across the three IOPI bulb conditions.
Method: 40 healthy adults were randomly assigned to perform tongue strength and endurance procedures by elevating either the anterior (n = 22) or posterior ( …
Early Orthodontists, Their Challenges, And Their Significant Impact On Orofacial Myology, Charlotte A. Boshart
Early Orthodontists, Their Challenges, And Their Significant Impact On Orofacial Myology, Charlotte A. Boshart
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
“Knowing your history can give you the tools to shape your future.” Gloria Feldt’s insightful quote inspires us to delve into the past and learn from those who came before us. This article chronicles the journey of several individuals who shaped the field of orthodontics and influenced the formation of the specialty of orofacial myology. The early years of orthodontics were challenging. In addition to the struggle to elevate the focus of orthodontics beyond mechanics, there was the challenge to convince academia to deem it worthy of post-graduate study. Dr. Edward H. Angle left his indelible mark on orthodontics and …

Meet The Journal’S Editorial Review Board Members, Nancy Pearl Solomon
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
I am honored to take on the role as Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy (IJOM). To prepare for my role as EIC, I set two major goals to address today’s quickly evolving publication standards and the expansion and growth of the discipline of orofacial myofunctional disorders. The first was to establish an on-line submission and review process and an on-line archive for all past articles. The second critical goal was to recruit and enlist an international group of highly respected scientists and doctoral-level practitioners who represent diverse topics related to orofacial myofunctional disorders …
Development Of A Concept For A Mobile Application To Support Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, Christina Osen, Nicola Litke, Michel Wensing, Aline Weis
Development Of A Concept For A Mobile Application To Support Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, Christina Osen, Nicola Litke, Michel Wensing, Aline Weis
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
Purpose: This study aimed to develop a concept for a mobile health application, an app-based exercise tool, to support the treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders by speech-language therapists (SLTs).
Method: A sequential mixed research design combining qualitative research and user-centered software development was applied. Qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with eight SLTs, one patient and three relatives to gather ideas for an app to support orofacial myofunctional therapy. On the basis of the findings, a paper-based prototype was developed, which was then evaluated by seven end users, to refine the concept of the app.
Results: Qualitative data on …
