Abstract

Modern technology for diagnosis and treatment planning in the management of craniomandibular disorders is described. Three cases are presented to demonstrate how myofunctional therapy is used to (1) stop the damaging hyperactivity of masticatory and perioral muscles and (2) to restore normal muscle function at rest and for chewing and swallowing.
