| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of oral myofunctional therapy (MFT) to oral function in the period of growth and development. We verified the effect of MFT on the improvement of lip closing pressure and tongue raising pressure. The lip pressure and tongue pressure were measured on the children who had MFT for the reason with mouth breathing, abnormal swallowing or tongue thrusting habit. Both the lip pressure and tongue pressure increased by MFT in early period. We found remarkable effect of MFT on tongue pressure, especially on the children with restriction of tongue movement after the frenotomy of the lingual frenulum.
