Dentofacial growth interferences, caused by abnormal lip and tongue function in the mixed dentition period are a common clinical condition. The main purpose of the treatment in such cases is to eliminate oral dysfunction, establish muscular balance and correct or diminish maxillary incisor protrusion. The position of the teeth is determined by the lip and tongue pressure. Lip function may have been the cause of forcing teeth in to malposition they occupy. The case report is presented where the myofunctional trainer T4K is used during growth phase.

Article Synopsis
- The Unlabelled Myofunctional Trainer for kids is a device designed to help correct teeth misalignment (malocclusion) by repositioning the jaw and addressing muscle issues in children.
- A case study used this trainer for treating class II malocclusion in a child with mixed dentition, highlighting the device's potential effectiveness in early intervention.
- The study suggests that considering patient preferences and compliance is essential for treatment planning and that further research is encouraged in this area.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the dentoalveolar effects of the myofunctional trainer T4K versus twin block in children with class II division I malocclusion. Two parallel arm randomized comparative clinical trial was conducted, including twenty healthy children, 9-12 years old, showing Angle's class II division I malocclusion due to mandibular retrusion. Children were randomly assigned into two groups according to the appliance used; Group 1: T4k, and Group II: twin block.

This case report describes the combined use of a myofunctional Trainer for Braces and fixed appliances to treat a 10-year-old girl with a Class II Division 1 malocclusion that featured severe maxillary incisor protrusion, a large overjet, and a V-shaped maxillary arch. She had a convex profile with an underdeveloped mandible. The superiority of myofunctional training in the case was to eliminate mouth breathing and lip sucking habits, train the oral musculature, stimulate mandibular growth, and make braces work more efficiently.

Malocclusion represents the clinically observable endpoint of numerous genetic and environmental influences. Oral Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) aims to treat malocclusions by improving the oral environment through re-education of musculature and respiratory patterns. Although the concept of OMT has existed since the early part of the 20th Century, many of its purported benefits for the treatment of malocclusion remain undemonstrated in the scientific literature.
