Before treatment
Our therapeutic protocol calls for a three-step treatment sequence to address the Functional Matrix:
1. Preparation Stage: use myofunctional orthodontics at an early age, from 4-5 up to 10-12 years of age, while waiting for the appropriate
time to start treatment with conventional mechanical orthodontics.
2. Mechanical Stage: use myofunctional appliances in association with conventional fixed appliance therapy.
3. Retentive Stage: use myofunctional orthodontics at the end of mechanical treatment to promote adaptation of the Functional Matrix to
the new occlusion.
