Abstract:
Prefabricated myofunctional appliances are one of the recommended appliances for early orthodontic treatment or prevention of malocclusions during the growth and development stage of children.At the beginning of its invention,it was commonly used to treat Class Ⅱ,division 1 malocclusion with deep overjet in children,based on the principle of combining the effects of a functional appli-ance with the effects of a positioner.With the development of orthodontic treatment,the indications of prefabricated myofunctional ap-pliances have gradually expanded.Scholars have also conducted research on children's psychological changes,compliance,and other aspects when using this appliance.This narrative review seeks to conclude the clinical applications of prefabricated myofunctional appli-ances in existing literature,aiming to provide reference for clinicians when using this appliance.
