  • Title: Compromised Airway and Atypical Facial Growth in The Adult Patient: A Case Study in the Redirection of Facial Growth.
    Author: Sherry CM.
    Journal: Int J Orthod Milwaukee; ; 27(2):61-67. PubMed ID: 29799706.
    Abstract:
    This case history is an adult patient with a compromised upper airway, soft tissue dysfunction, and atypicalfacial growth. The nasal deviation and enlarged turbinates resulted in mouth-breathing and soft tissue dysfunction. Atypical growth occurs when the biological balance between bone remodeling and positional displacement is disrupted Following septoplasty and turbinate reduction to reestablish nasal respiration and myofunctional therapy to retrain the muscles, the atypical growth was redirected to normal. The final result was an overall improvement in general health, esthetics, and well-being.
