Summary: The effect of lip training was studied in 15 children with incompetent lips, who were compared with a control group of 10 children who also had incompetent lips. Lip function was evaluated by electromyography of the activity of the lips in resting posture and during swallowing and chewing. The morphology of the dentition, facial skeleton and lips were studied on dental casts and profile radiographs. Lip training was performed for one year and was found to maintain lip function in the test group, in contrast to impairment of lip function in the control group. Lip training favorably influenced lip morphology, increasing the height of both lips and decreasing the interlabial gap. In the control group, the interlabial gap increased. The beneficial effect of the training on the function and morphology of the lips could not be shown to affect tooth position during the one-year study period. Full article

Introduction: With the emphasis today on holistic approaches to health care, the dentist/orthodontist can benefit from an awareness of the causes of functional malocclusions. There can be little disagreement that tongue pressures during swallowing, speech, and resting position, may be a contributing factor to certain malocclusions. This article is not intended to provide a comprehensive examination protocol but rather to raise the awareness of the dental community to tongue related malocclusions. Dentists and orthodontists may be in a position to see the beginning stages of many preventable problems. Early detection and intervention can be beneficial to the patient. Full article
