Dentoskeletal Correction by Growth Modification in a Young Child Using Myofunctional Trainer: A Case Report

Abstract

Myofunctional trainer for kids (T4K, Myofunctional Research Co., Australia) is a prefabricated, single-size functional appliance that claims to correct malocclusion at an early age by acting on muscular dysfunctions and repositioning the mandible in a forward direction. Myofunctional therapy through the Trainer System™ was implemented in this case for the treatment of class II malocclusion in mixed dentition. The results showed that an early approach in selected cases, taking into account patient preferences and compliance, is possible and could be considered in treatment planning and relevant future research.
