Abstract

During early childhood the masticatory system is susceptible to negative exo- and endogenous factors. Untreated functional and morphological disorders provoke serious consequences in adolescence. Myokinesiotherapy is a concept of exercise involving facial muscles and the masticatory system, with the main objective of preventing and treating malocclusions.
