Evaluation of Electromyography and Muscle Contraction in the Use of Myofunctional Appliances: A Systematic Review
Abstract:Background: Electromyography (EMG) is the study of muscle function through the analysis of electrical signals generated spontaneously or during voluntary contractions. EMG plays an important role in the diagnosis of facial muscles during orthodontic treatment related to neuromuscular involvement and facial pain associated with the use of myofunctional appliances.
