NEUROSCIENCES AND SWALLOWING REHABILITATION: FroggyMouth -- An Anoetic Approach

Patrick Fellus Aug 2020 Orthopolis SAS For decades we treated incorrect tooth position with mechanical treatments. But these treatments can be harmful, expensive, they often relapse. That is why in recent years, the school of thought of functional treatments has been growing and is continuing to do so.

By rehabilitating these dysfunctions, we can reduce the length of mechanical treatments, and even avoid them when the patient is treated early enough.
