Abstract
Orofacial dysfunction and parafunctions are responsible for many orthodontic abnormalities right from the stage of deciduous teeth.Incisor malocclusion, dental malposition and alveolar arch malformations are the most common abnormalities.Functional rehabilitation for prevention or as part of interceptive orthodontics significantly reduces the risk of appearance or progression of these abnormalities to more extensive malocclusions that are more difficult to manage.Functional rehabilitation consists of re-educating and restoring physiological orofacial functions, such as speech and swallowing, breathing and/or chewing disorders.
