Advances And Updates On Open-Access Publishing By The Ijom, Nancy Pearl Solomon
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
An online, open-access, no-fee model of the International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy (IJOM) was established in December 2020 and includes all archived articles back to the journal’s origin in 1975. While aiming to increase content for the journal, the Editorial Review Board (ERB) has also been diligent about maintaining high standards for publication. This note From the Editor highlights recent publications, conference proceedings, and special issues. It also lists updates and challenges in terms of policies and practices. The IJOM remains both a traditional association-supported journal and is on the cutting edge of open-access publishing.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common category of sleep-disordered breathing. The common signs of OSA include loud and irregular snoring and disturbed sleep due to the multiple awakenings. OSA is frequently associated with cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Many studies have confirmed that there are clear benefits for patients who treated OSA. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard treatment for OSA, but there are many patients with OSA who are intolerant of CPAP therapy. Oral appliance treatment is alternative therapy for mild to moderate OSA. This article makes some literature reviews and discusses effect, mechanisms, clinical …

Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a common method used by orthodontists to increase the transverse dimension of maxillary arch and arch perimeter, by a tooth-borne device to stretch the median palatal suture through the mechanical force. The orthopedic effects produced by the RME device include not only opening the median palatal suture, but also rotating the maxillary alveolar shelves, which has an influence on the adjacent sutures of facial skeleton and the morphology of nasal cavities. This article reviewed the impact of RME on the anatomy of upper airway, respiratory flow resistance, and clinical relation with the nasal airway obstruction …
