“…Anterior Open Bite (AOB) is a condition in the oral cavity, characterized by no contact or deficit of normal vertical contact between antagonistic teeth in the arch of the anterior tooth [23][24][25]. AOB causes a variety of aesthetic and functional changes that interfere with the grip and cutting of food.…”

Background: Anterior Open Bite (AOB) is a malocclusion condition characterized by the absence of contact between the upper and lower anterior teeth, resulting from oral bad habits for a long time or abnormalities in skeletal patterns. AOB leads a lack of confidence in children because of the difficulty for lip sealing and the unclear pronunciation function. AOB occurs in children and continues into adulthood so it needs to be treated early on at the age of growth and development. One method of treating AOB is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) which is a method to improve the stability of the stomatognatic system by involving the exercise of the facial and neck muscles. Aim: Literature Review (LR) writing aims to find out the effectiveness of OMT in the case of AOB children, how the treatment is carried out and the problems that occur during OMT. Mini-Review: OMT increases the activity of the masseter and buccinator muscles, and decreases the contraction of the lip muscles that the lips may seal. OMT is able to increase the ability to hold the tongue to stay in contact with the palate so there is no obstacle to the eruption of the lower insisivus tooth and AOB can be corrected. Results: Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is effective for the correction of a child's Anterior Open Bite (AOB) as a combination therapy with the use of orthodontic tools or myofunctional equipment, especially in children older than 12 years of age and craniofacial deformity has occurred.

“…7 Previous studies have investigated the impact of different types of malocclusions on myofunctional disorders. 7,8,9 The causal explanation between this problem and speech disorders may be related to the anatomical structure of the oral cavity, but it can also be restricted to the type of language itself. 10 Furthermore, the relationship of malocclusion and tongue position can be explained by the Balance Theory, since teeth in the correct position help in the balance between the forces of the tongue and the labio-buccal muscles.…”

“…Between the main types of speech alterations, distortion (anterior and lateral lisp) is due to musculoskeletal, and for this reason, it is one of the interest in this study. 5 Although there are some studies in previous literature that evaluate the relationship among malocclusions with tongue position and speech distortion, 2,6,7,8,9 epidemiological studies with representative samples during mixed dentition using robust analysis methods are still scarce. 2,6,7,8,9 More studies are required to prove stronger associations between tongue-positioning and speech problems with From the lists of students, 1,559 children between 7 and 13 years old were invited to participate in the study.…”

Association between malocclusion, tongue position and speech distortion in mixed-dentition schoolchildren: an epidemiological study

Background: Malocclusions are highly prevalent in childhood and adolescence, being considered a public health problem worldwide, in addition to be considered an important predictor in the tongue position and speech disorders. Objective: Evaluate the association of malocclusions with tongue position and speech distortion in mixed-dentition schoolchildren from the south of Brazil. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was performed using a database of an epidemiological survey realized in the southern of Brazil, in 2015, for evaluating the dental and myofunctional condition of the mixed-dentition from 7-13 years' schoolchildren. The outcome variables were tongue position and speech distortion, evaluated by a trained and calibrated examiner. Characteristics regarding sociodemographic and oral health measures (Angle's classification of the malocclusion, overjet, overbite, posterior crossbite and respiratory mode) were also assessed. Poisson regression models with adjusted robust variance were used to evaluate the association among predictors variables in the outcomes. Results are presented as prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results: A total of 547 children were evaluated. Schoolchildren who presented anterior open bite (PR 2.36 95%CI 1.59-3.49) and having oral/oral-nasal breathing (RP 2.51 95%CI 1.70-3.71) are more likely to have altered position of the tongue. Both deep bite and being male represent protection factors for the abnormal tongue position. Regarding speech distortion, deep overbite presents a protective relationship to speech distortion (PR 0.41; 95%CI 0.24-0.71), whereas schoolchildren with posterior crossbite were more likely to present this problem (PR 1.77; 95%CI 1.09-2.88). Conclusion: Anterior open bite and posterior crossbite were the malocclusions related to speech distortion and/or altered tongue position. Oral/oral-nasal breathing was also related to myofunctional changes. Deep bite malocclusion was a protective factor for both speech problems and altered tongue position when compared to a normal overbite.

“…4 Resting tongue position and tongue position during function define the determination of altered occlusal patterns such as those observed in AOB. 5 The current study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of AOB and its etiological factors among a group of Egyptian children in the mixed dentition stage, aged 8 to 10 years.…”

Background: Anterior open bite (AOB) is the vertical separation between upper and lower teeth when all other teeth are in maximum intercuspation. It is considered abnormal when it affects patient's function, speech, mastication, future dental health risks and aesthetics. Aim:The current study was conducted to determine the prevalence of anterior open bite and its etiological factors in a group of Egyptian children aged 8 years and above. Methods:The sample comprised 115 participants aged between 8 and 10 years, attending the
