All patients had multiple orofacial dysfunctions requiring treatment at the beginning of the study. The patients were randomized into a non-apparative myofunctional therapy group [MFT group] (n = 19 patients) and an apparative FaceFormer therapy group [FFT group] (n = 26 patients). The MFT group served as the control group, while the FFT group was the study group. Both groups were comparable in terms of age, gender and severity of dysfunction. The findings, which were carried out at three-month intervals, were based on a standardized examination form for patients with orofacial dysfunctions [90] and a functional examination form.\u00a0The lip competence, breathing mode, articulation, lip habits, swallowing pattern and lip strength were diagnosed. On the basis of the available test results, it was determined that harmonization of orofacial dysfunctions is possible with the help of both functional therapy concepts. During the observation period of six months, FaceFormer therapy proved to be more efficient than myofunctional therapy in speech therapy practices.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Establishing of nasal

><p>FaceFormer therapy is also superior to myofunctional therapy when it comes to establishing a physiological swallowing pattern (p=0.000). A somatic swallowing pattern could be demonstrated in all subjects of both therapy groups before the start of therapy. After six months, only 29.4% of the patients in the study group still showed an unphysiological swallowing pattern, compared with 84.6% of the subjects in the control group.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Increase in lip strength<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4x986n2-b23c63beda9a840d75d247044cb2a438 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltohn1w2-045676538a11e13c6329a3aa0ec0e3f8 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>A highly significant increase in lip strength was demonstrated in both therapy groups over the course of the study. Within the FaceFormer collective, however, this improvement was achieved in a shorter period of time. When comparing the development of average lip strength after three months of therapy, the available therapy results showed an increase in lip strength within the FaceFormer group by a factor of 2.35 (T0= 11.23 mbar; T1= 26.41 mbar). During the same period, the lip strength within the control group could only be increased by an average factor of 0.31 (T0= 14.28 mbar; T1= 20.69 mbar).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div
