Abstract

Introduction Given the severity with which obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome can affect the patient's health, many therapies have been presented to minimize the occurrence of episodes of airway obstruction during sleep. Regarding non-invasive and effective methods, orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) is an important adjuvant in the clinical treatment.
