预成型肌功能矫治器早期肌功能矫治研究进展

Research progress of preformed muscle functional appliance in early muscle function correction

儿童在生长发育期存在的不良习惯,可能导致其颌面部肌群的不平衡,增加了(牙合)系统发生错(牙合)畸形的风险。儿童的早期矫治与肌功能训练是为了去除能够造成错(牙合)畸形的病因和进行早期的肌功能训练,从而达到恢复正常颅颌面结构和咬合关系的目的。预成型肌功能矫治器是一类通过改变口面肌肉功能,促进(牙合)发育和颅颌面生长的矫治器,可以对患者的不良习惯及颅颌面畸形的危险因素进行早期的阻断治疗。预成型肌功能矫治器由于其预成型、疗效快、舒适等优点,近年来被广泛使用,该文对预成型肌功能矫治器进行综述。

Bad oral habits during children’s growth and development may lead to the unbalance in their facial muscles and increase the risk of malocclusion in dental and maxillofacial system. The aim of early correction and muscle function training in children is to remove the etiology of malformation and do some early muscle function training to correct abnormal craniofacial structure and occlusion. Preformed muscle functional appliance is an appliance that promotes occlusion development and craniofacial growth by changing the function of oral-facial system. It can prevent the patients’ bad habits and the risk of craniofacial malformation during their mixed dentition. Preformed muscle functional appliance has been widely used recently by doctors and patients for its preforming, rapid curative effect, comfort and other advantages. This article will review the preformed muscle functional appliance.
