With regard to the convenience and simplicity of the individual myofunctional techniques, there were different individual assessments. The FaceFormer was accepted and tolerated well to very well by the majority of patients. The exercises with the FaceFormer were easier to control by the parents and adolescent patients compared to the other myofunctional methods. This also increased the motivation to perform the exercises in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>There was a tendency towards greater improvement in lip strength the younger the children treated were.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The treatment success of myofunctional therapy with the FaceFormer depends on the frequency and duration of use.<\/p>\n<h2>Literature<\/h2>\n<p>Berndsen, Klaus-J\u00fcrgen: Ein einfaches \u00dcbungsger\u00e4t bringt Hilfe.
