Oral myofunctional therapy was found to be successful, in a group of 75 patients, ages six to 22 all with anterior open bites. Seventeen of 19 who lisped before therapy eliminated the lisp. Upper respiratory system allergies were eliminated in nine of 11 patients. A combination of myofunctional therapy and orthodontic treatment was more successful in correcting lip resting posture than was therapy alone. Lip and tongue resting postures, along with swallowing patterns, were corrected to a highly significant degree.
在一组75名年龄在6至22岁、均患有前牙开合的患者中，发现口腔肌功能治疗是成功的。治疗前口齿不清的19名患者中有17名消除了口齿不清的问题。11名患者中有9名消除了上呼吸道系统过敏。与单纯治疗相比，肌功能治疗与正畸治疗相结合在纠正唇部休息姿势方面更为成功。唇部和舌部的休息姿势以及吞咽模式都得到了高度显著的纠正。
